Father Bean, Father Ryan was presented with an illuminated address and purse of sovereigns. Father Beatf eulogised the departing priest who had endeared himself to everyone.' But it was a consolation to know that Father Ryan had been promoted to one of the best parishes in the diocese. Mrs. Hoben, wife of Mr. E. D. Hoben, subeditor ol the Sydney ' Mail, • died suddenly at her residence Manly, on March 26.
