DEATH OF MAJOR PAUL.
[Bx Tblbgeaph.] [PBEBB ASSOCIATION TBLBGBAM.] AUCKLAND, July 12. Major Paul died suddenly last night between ten end eleven o’clock, at the Northern Club. The deceased gentleman arrived by the Penguin from Wellington yesterday morning, en route for Waiwera, in the hope that a course of baths would afford relief from asthma. He was staying at the Club, and on retiring to his room last night he desired an attendant to bring him a basin of hot water, with the intention of inhaling the fumes. The act of inhaling had affected his lungs, and, finding that something had gone wrong, he openc 1 the door to call assistance, and fell forward in the hell on his face, dying instantaneously. Drs. Munro and Honeyman happened to bo in the Club at the time, end their services were invoked, but in vain. He burst a blood-vessel and died of internal ba;morrhage. The deceased gentleman was formerly in the 65th Regiment. He settled subsequently at Wellington, and, on the retirement of Dr. Greenwood, was appointed Sergeant at-Arms of the House of Representatives, but subsequently resigned.
