died suddenly in d railway carriage, near Wake:

of London. In this account falsidcations have
just been discovered to the amount Of nearly
$4,000. IA soon as the discovery Of Red
fearne's defslcation became KNOWN mcct;ng
Of the directors was held, WREN the deeeased's
pecunsary condition at the time Of his death
was 1enethily considered. 1t was then found
that Redfearne's personal aud real estatc-to
be made available for the loss-nmounted up to

the manner in which he is supposed to hzre ex-
