One of the London papers sees
ssromance of commerce" in the re-
cent death of one Henry Greenwood'
an inmate of the workhouse infirmary
at Hampstead. 1t seems that Green,
wood was once q rich man, and be-
longed to firm of jewelers. so emi-
nent that it supplied the pearls worn
by Queen Victoria at her coronation.
At that time, indeed, he and his part
ners were the leading dealers In
pearls, not only as regards England,
but in the whole world. Greenwood,
after his most famous transaction, led
a rather adventurous life, part of it
in Australia, where he was Mayor Of
Ballarat. He accumulated fairly
considerable fortune, which, however
he lost in various reverses, until to-
ward the close of his life he was III
a state of abject poverty. His death
took place in the workhouse from
cancer when he was about eighty years
of age. Curiously enough two of the
members of the Hampstead Board of
Guardians when Mr.. Greenwood en-
tered the workhouse were old school
mates of his, ana one of them met the
expenses of the funeral in order that
he should not lie in a pauper's grave,
and was himself the only mourner
following the coffin.
