ARCHBISHOP CLUNE
SOME PERSONAL DETAILS. (From Our Own Correspondent,) WELLINGTON, January 11. It is interesting to not© (says the Dominion) that the Dr Clun© who has been conducting the peace negotiations between the Sinn Fein Party in Ireland and the British Government, and whose sincere work has been so heartily praised by the Prime Minister (Mr- Lloyd George) and others, was formerly a priest of the Redemptorist Order in Wellington. It was Father Clune, now Archbishop of Perth, Western Australia, who established the order in New Zealand, and through whose efforts the Church of St. Gerard .was erected at the top of Hawker _ street some 15 years ago. Dr Clune, who is a County Clare" man, was in Sydney, before coming to Wellington, for a period of six years. He was then transferred to Perth, where he was subsequently elevated to _ the archbishopric 'of that city. Dr Clune is well remembered by many of Wellington’s Roman Catholic citizens as a zealous and scholarly churchman, with a wide outlook and a human© disposition.
