MRS. MABOABKT HALLY, DUNEDIN. On Monday there died at her residence, Leith street, Dunedin, one of the old Catholic residents of this city in the person of Mrs. Margaret Hally, relict of the late Mr. John Hally. The late Mrs. Hally was born in Coleraine, Londonderry, and arrived in Victoria many years ago. Later on she came to New Zealand, and settled down in Dutieilin, where she married the late Mr. John Hally. The deueamd had been aiJing for some weeks, but it was not until a few days ago that serious oneequences were apprehended. During her illnebti she had the constant spiritual ministrations of the Rev. Father Murphy and of the Rev. Father O'Reilly, and her last moments were consoled by the administration of the rites of the Church to which she was so devoted, and of which she was so practical a member. Mrs. Hally was highly esteemed by all who knew her, her warm-heartedness and kindness making for her a large circle of friends, who recognised in her the true embodiment of what a good Catholic ought to be. The funeral was on Wednesday, the remains being taken in the first instance to St. Joseph's Cathedral, where the first portion of the burial service was read, and thence to the Southern Cemetery, where the interment took place. There are two sons — Messrs. Patrick and John Hally — and two daughters left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, and to these we tender our sincerest pympathy in the lobs they have sustained. — R.LP. MR.
