did he here when he arrived here P” ” Be had 1500 dollars, but now all he hae is 138 dollars. Well, even at that he has more than I have, for I do not possess a dollar. I can assure you, however, that some people had a good ent at the “ little archbishop's ’ fifteen hundred.” Mrs Von does not much seem to be fearful of the result of her onslaught on her quondam admirer, and rather congratulates herself on the fact that the main object of her desire has been reached—vis., the keeping of Bishop here pending the decision of the appeal cose. Bishop himself is not so philosophical, and he is making things lively for the Hospital trustees, He writhes and groans throughout the entire day, and is constantly yelling for beefsteaks and black coSee, which be seems to consider would go further toward effecting his recovery than the medicine prescribed by the Police Surgeon. The only additional particulars learned at the inquest were detailed by Robert H. Knyland, who stated that Bishop was 46 years of age, and a native of America, that he was in attendance on Bishop at the time of his death, and that Bishop told him that be had made a will, bequeathing his property to his son in New Zealand, 50 dollars to Jerry Sullivan, the attorney, for his kindness in getting him out of the Receiving hospital, and 200 dollars to Robert H. Knyland as a reward for his past and present services. He has requested Jerry Sullivan to obtain a return of his passage monev, and to forward his baggage to Auckland, New Zealand, to his family and also to give his body decent interment. All his debts for lodging and restaurant bills are to be paid. [Mrs Von has evidently got a little mixed aboutßishop’sconnections. Mrs Bishop is not a daughter of Mr Greenaway, “ an enormously rich but miserly man.” She is a daughter of Mr Greenwood, of Epsom, an old settler who lived at Matakana for many years. Mr Greenwood has not married “ a gushing maid in her teens." The lady he married was Mrs Neill, the widow of the late Mr Neill, of Grey street.]
