on Sunday ee'nnight or early on Monday morning, one
of the drawers of a obettionier in the sitting-room of I
Miss Wills, the matron of the Salisbury Infirmary,
was broken open, and .CIB in gold carried away. In
another part of the oheffionier there was Wane plate,
but that remained untouched, although the key was
easily accessible. The windnw of the roam was
found open on Monday morning, but from the fact
that Supt. Caldow being unable to trios any foot-

thrown open from within. The drawer appears to
have been foroed by means of • penknife and a pair

Government service and the friends of Dr. Greenup re.
sideat in Sydney, • special train hid been provided,
which left Sydney at 1.45, and conveyed a considerable
number of gentlemen, including members of the
Ministry, of the Bench, the Bar, the Univenity, and of
the Medical profession. The Bishop of Sydney was also
present. The procession formed at the top of Factory-
street, in Churchlitreet, the condition of the lower
thoroughfares near the Asylum, from which the remains
were conveyed, precluding • nearer approach to that
establishment. The funeral cortege was preceded by
the Volunteer Rifle Corps and band, under the com-
mand if Lientenant ; the mourning coaches
being immediately followed by the female attendants of
the asylum. A very large number of the inhabitants
on foot, and in vehicles, extended the procession, which
was also joined by the boys of the Protestant Orphan
SehooL Upon arriving at St. John's Church, the coffin
was borne into that edifioe—the organ, upon arrival
and departure, performing the plaintive "Dead
in Soul," and at the conclusion of that portion of the
service appointed to be read in the church, the procession
I reformed to the burial ground, where the remains were
' consigned to their resting-plane; the Rev. R. L. King,
' incumbent of the parish, alone officiated. The deceased
gentleman was the third son of George Greener.. Kerb,
and was born at Darey-hay, near Halifax, in Yorkshire,
in March, 1803; and had consequently entered his sixty-
fourth year. After the elementary and preparatory
course of several schools in the vicinity of his liirth.place,
he entered Queen's College. Cambridge, where he
graduated, and seleequently obtained his medical
diploma. He practised successfully as • physician

' of years, at Calne, in Wiltshire, being visiting phymi.
elan to one or two lunatic asylums. He left England
in 1849, in medical charge of the emigrant vessel John
Knox, and arrived in Sydney on the 29th of April, 1880.
Soon after his arrival he was offered, and molested, the Re.
gistrarship of the University of Sydney. which office he
held till, in 1852, he became seperintendent of the Parrs-
matte Lunatic Asylum. Dr. Greenup has, also, up to
the time of his decease, held the offices of medical
adviser to the Government, and examiner in chemistry
and physics in the Sydney University. He was an
active and valuable member of the Church to which he
belonged, having acted in the Church Society as • dale.
gate from this parish in the first Conference in reference
to Synodical action, and as a lay reader of the Church. As
• member of the community in which he has resided for
the last fourteen years, Dr. Greenup was distinguished
as • warm promoter of the religious, benevolent, and
Mersey institutions. He was one of the promoters of
the Volunteer movement in 1860, and, previous to that
period, of the Mechanics' School of Arts and its classes,
which be materially assisted; and he has for some time
filled the office of President of the Perresiatta Auxiliary
Bible Society. In speaking of the deceased gentleman
we are anxious to adhere to simple facts, but we must add

too trustful even of men such as those who are confined
