Eventually they went back 'to Rongotea; his wife left again, and oue'dav shortly after he alleged lie saw her walking arm in ami with a nj.au in town, and subsequently on speaking to her asked iter to come back, which she refused, to do. Evidence was given to that effect by plaintiff. Gross-examined bv Mr Meatvard, he stated that he; was not of a jealous disposition and' had never either kicked or struck her.

I In common with many of the oldest settlers in tho colony, My Charles Bray, sen., whose doatli we recorded yesterday, was for Bonje years on tho goldfields in the South Island. About 24 years ago he was invited by Mr Macarthur, agent for tho Colonists' Land and Loan Corporation, to take charge of road and bridgo construction in the new settlement of Feilding. His first business was to take charge of a section of railway being constructed from Feilding. Later he became engineer for Maaawatn, Kiwitea, ft'Kl Oroua County Councils, ami as such practically roaded mid bridged liiu whole country round Feilding. As settlement progressed his duties increased in these Counties, and he was com polled to relinquish those appertaining to the two first Counties and confine his attention to the business of tho Oroua County. Previous to his illness ha had drawn plans for Mauawatu Gorge bridge, which were adopted, and the work is being car? ried out under his specifications. As a road and bridgo engineer ho undoubtedly stood at the head of his profession in this district. As an official he was always on the best terms with those carrying out work | under his charge, and lie was highly respected by a wide circle of settlers. Ho leaves a widow and ten children, five sons and five daughters and thirty grand children. The sons are: Mr Charles Bray, jun., Engineer for the Paeroa County Council; Mr Wm. Bray, of Hokitika; Mr Arthur Bray, Eketahuna; Messrs Norman and Roy Bray, residing with their parents. Tho daughters are! Mrs F. R. Linton, Halcombe; Mrs E. Fodeii, Hawera; Mrs E. Audrey, Martou ; Mrs F. Audrey, Auckland ; and Miss Janet Bray* residing at homo. THE POPULAR "LK.G."
