REMOVED TO CHURCH.
MR M. J. SAVAGE’S COFFIN. (P.A.) AUCKLAND, July 81. To ensure that the mortal remains df the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage should not be disturbed by rock blasting operations at Bastion Point, Orakei, necessitated by the formation of a permanent memorial, the coffin, which was entombed in an old ammunition vault, has been removed to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It will rest in the church until the tomb on Bastion Point has been completed. The casket was removed to the cathedral in the quietest manner under the supervision of the Department of Internal Affairs, and was received by the cathedral administrator. It was placed m a. tiny sacristy on the north side of the sanctuary, and the sacristy was then sealed.
