Knight, Dean of Llandaff, which took place, after a long and
painful illness, at the Deanery, on the night of Friday, the Bth

his 801-1, year, had literally impaired a naturally robust consti-
tution by a life of unceasing labour in the duties of his sacred
calling The funeral was strictly private. The Right Rev.
the Lord Bishop of the diocese was present, and assisted in the
service, which was conducted by the Rev. John Montgomery
Traherne, Chancellor of the Cathedral, and brother-in-law of
the late dignitary. The chief mourners were Mr. John Bruce
-Nyco and the Right Hon. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce,
brothers of the deceased.—Bristol Journal.
