SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON, May 21. Thomas Hennelley, who was found dead in his whare at Ngahauranga on Tuesday, came to the colony about twenty-five years ago to rejoin his elder brother, who" was then a leading sharebroker at the Thames. He was a well-educated man, and prior to taking up his residence in New Zealand was employed in an Irish bank. The deceased was recently employed at the Meat Export Company's works at Ngahauranga. A brother of his, who held a responsible position in the Telegraph Department, died here a few years ago. Several of his other brothers and two sisters, now living in Great Britain, are connected with the Roman Catholic priesthood and sisterhood. Writing to the Premier, Mr T. Wilford, M.H.R. for the Hutt, states that while on the Continent he visited the Italian- Houses of Parliament, and received quite a shock. Shades of Sir Maurice O'Rorke! There were four men speaking at one time. The President was shouting at them, and the members of the Press were leaningover the balustrade shouting at both the President and the members. Mr Wilford describes the proceedings as being a perfect babel. He has visited the English House of Commons, where Colonel Denny and Mr Henniker Heaton, and other members showed him every courtesy. At the rime of writing Mr Wilford intended to be in Wellington for the opening of Parliament.
