AUCKLAND.
This day. Mr Redmond has been cabled to that he will have an enthusiastic reception.
John O'Neill, an engine driver, dropped dead at Paruell on Saturday, and an unseemly occurrence eventuated at his funeral yesterday. The deceased was a Catholic, and the mourners and friends waited round the grave till Father Downey, who was to conduct the service, had finished officiating at another interment. When the latter was over Father Downey said he had received .such instructions from Father Fynes, the Vicar-General, as would prevent him conducting the service over O'Neill's grave. After some delay Father Downey consented to conduct the service, and the funeral was concluded.
