CONTINGENT BEQUEST
AUCKLAND CHURCH SCHOOL. ESTATE WORTH OVER £22,000. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, September 26.

The bequest is subject to the life interest of the archdeacon’s daughters, and to- another contingency, the possibilities of which cannot be ascertained for some considerable tyric. If this contingency docs not materialise, the school will ultimately receive a very valuable addition to its resources.

Archdeacon Cole had completed 50 years in the Anglican ministry at the time of his death. From 1903 until 1912, when he retired on account of ill-health, ho was Archdeacon of Taranaki.
