OBITUARY.

MISS EMILY CARROLL. After nearly 50 years of suffering, a patient at the Auckland Infirmary, Miss Emily Can-oil, died recently at the age of 72 vears. When she was 25 years old she" was admitted to the original Old People's Home in the grounds of the Auckland Hospital. Later the Costley Home, now the Auckland Infirmary, was opened at Epsom, and Miss Carroll was one of the first patients transferred from the hospital. Miss Carroll was very popular with visitors to the infirmary, who admired her tatting work. Although many of those at the institution are older than Miss Carroll was, she was the last of the inmates of the original building at the hospital.
