In cross-examination witness said he was employed by
the company to attend on the mond occasion. The fact
of the discolouration fading after six weeks was to his mind
evidence that the original injury must have been trifiing.
If it had been • bad bruise it would have been all that

Dr. Simard. F.R.C. P., Grosvenor -street, said that at

DzAH AND FUNIIIAL or A WATERLOO VITUAL
—The last of our Waterloo men in this district,
Henry Ramon, died on Saturday, at the ripe old age
of 83. In the room were found £3l in sovereigns,
three watches, besides a loadedrevolver' which was by
the side, of the bed. This latter may be suny
accounted for, as it was a hobby of the poor old
fellow to always have a loaded pistol by the side of hi.
bed. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon
at the Weymouth Cemetery. with military honours.
There was an immense concourse of lemons present.
The funeral party started from the residence of the
deceased in -Lower Bond-street with military preci-
rdon at the time appointed. The remains of the old
artilleryman were borne to their last resting place
on a gun carriage drawn by six honer, with
a party of men belonging to the Royal Horse
Artillery from Dorchester, under Serreant Rimy. The
funeral cortege was headed by the 12th Battery, 10th
Brigade Royal Artillery, stationed at the Rothe, with
fit-Ift party under Sergeant-Major Teesdale, followed
by the corpse on the grin carriage, the friends and two
mourning combos, containing the friends and relatives
of the deceased, bringing up the rear. The day being
beautifully fine a large number of persons followed the
procession to 'the cemetery, but, notwithstanding
so many persons were present, the utmost decorum
and good order prevailed. Tbe Rev. T. Falkner
(curate of St. Mary's) read the service of the Church,
and at the oonclusion three volleys were fired over
the grave as a last mark of respect from the military
to their dead brother in arms. Beyond this the
funeral was strictly plain, and some disappointment
was expressed that no bend of any kind was present.
Considering the services rendered in his life time we
really think he deserved some further recognition than
that afforded. In fact, we believe the funeral would
have been an ordinary one had not Supt. Vickery
Interested himself in obtaining the marks of military
respect.

engleested that before passing any resolution for the
remoyel of the organ notice should be given to the
fondly. Mrs. Williams had complained to him of the

In SWINK to the M.ATOI, the Ramon had had evidence
of a leakage, whereby steam was let into the organ, and
this was hurtful.
Mr. ROBINSON stated that Yr. Oldknow had looked at
the organ, and found it very wet. Steam escaped, and
that led to the first opening of the bellows, from the steam
eating on the glue. This was quite away under the organ,
and they did not discover it till it was opened.
Kr. ANDREWS asked how were they going to provide
fors& for the repair? They ought to have the opinion ef
someone well op in the matter on whom they could rely,
for when thay spent their own money they might be
amateur architects, but not when they spent that orthe
parish. Through the kindness of the Rector and others
£l3O had been collected lately for the organ, and he under-
stood that was to keep the organ in repair. He wanted to
know why it was out of repeir.
Tb• Ramon said .015 was what they might anticipate
would be the cost of repairing the organ and moving the
Mats.
Hoerraeon understood the repair alone might he done
for from .C 2 to Lb.
How long would that last! asked Mr. Mathews, for if
it would cost £6 every year, owing to the dimness of the
Mpa they had better consider the expense of mop.
ir &rows did not think that Mr. Robert Williams
would object to the removal, because the monument
would have more light on it ;but It was hardly competent
for them to decide on removal. If only a couple of guineas
were required to set the organ going again and that were
does, it would give the pariah time to consider
question'.
Mr. Clithqoar considered the organ would always require
repairs in the present position. and he moved a resolution
"that Ills desirable to remove the organ from the north-
east transept to the south-east, also to make some alters-
toes in the heating apparatus." The expense would soon
be net by moot lily collections.
Kr. ANDRIT/11 alluded jocularly to the employment of
" them small silver coins at collections," which were so
much trouble to count in the vestry, and did not amount
to much after all. If they only got four 3-penny bite
in toad of I,,ur shillings it would not amount to much.
The RECTOR thought they would do pretty well with
collections. Bot would it be well to leave the matter till

The SIGNIOR said only a few drops after the frost.
