A handbag, containing £ll7 in notes, wets lost in Onehunga yesterday afternoon by a widow. The money was compensation paid in respect of the death two years ago of her husband, a motorman on the tramways. Loud applause greeted the passing of the first bill at the Diocesan Synod last evening. Standing orders were suspended to enable Mr E. W. M. Lysons to move the third reading, which should have been laken to-day. After the formal reading .Mr Lysons moved that “the Bill do now pass.” His Lorship duly declared the Bill a statute amid acclamation. At yesterday’s session of the Wellington Diocesan Synod the following resolution was carried unanimously amid applause: “That this synod desires to place on record its high appreciation of the faithful and iongconLinued services of Mr Robert Parker as organist and choirmaster of the procathedral of the diocese and extends to him its most cordial congratulations on his 50 years’ tenure of oiiice."
