Mr Robert Kennedy, of the Wellington legal firm of Messrs Luke and Kennedy, will, it is expected, be appointed to a judgeship on the Dominion Supreme Court Bench.

Settlers were present from all parts, and many floral tributes were forwarded by sympathising friends. Six of the brethren of Abbotsford Lodge of Oddfellows acted as pall-bearers. The burial service of the Presbyterian Church was conducted bv the Rev. A. C. McLean, of Waipukurau. and that of the Oddfellows by Mr H. W. Gallagher.
