THE LATE MR. J. J. DEVINE.
: -TRIBUTE FROM .THE' BENCH. ". "••' When Mr. : W. G. Riddell, S.M., took his' seat oh. the bench at the Magistrate's Court; yesterday, morning/ he ,made a' touohing'reference, to the death of Mr. J. J. Devine. "Before the.formal business of the-Court commences," said his Wor : ship, "I would: like to make reference'to. a sad event which has happened, since the.last.sitting.of the Court. I refer to the sudden and tragic death of Mr. J. J. Devine. I was deeply grieved to read in the morning papers of this, very sad occurrence, and we shall all miss his wellknown, figure and genial disposition in this : Court. \ Mr. Devine was a wellknown and prominent' member of . the legal profession, and as a citizen he took an active part in all those public matters which; are the. proper concern of all good, and useful citizens. To those of us who remember him when he was in good health and good spirits, it, seems almost impossible that'he has'passed away, but. he has been called, and is now no more. I am sure that all citizens who recognise the public services rendered by Mr. Devine, and all members of the legal -'pro-: fession, will extend their deep and heartfelt sympathy to those who were near, and dear to him, and who have been left sorrowing, by his decease." ''•..'The funeral .of ..tho.late Mr.,l. J.'De-, vine -will leavn his late resilience in Wellington Terrace. at 8.45 a.m: to-day for St.. Mary's' of the Angels, Boulcott Street.. After the service in the Church the procession will leave at 0.15 a.m. for the Karori Cemetery.. The Mayor, members of the City, Council, and the principal officers' of. the council will attend tho funeral, ,and also members of the Hospital and Charitable Aid Boards. Out of respect to " the memory of the . late Mr. Devine,' the special meeting of the council, to ,be held . tomorrow afternoon, will be adjourned, after a motion of .condolence has been passed, and no committee meetings will be held this week.
