Hangdog And Dirty Old Man. Dr. G: W. Pritchets, af Knaphill, said that Mr. Gwyon had always been eccentric while at Bisley. He would go about the roads with rather a hangdog look, and his ap parel was always very filthy. His collars, and shirts were dreadful". A month ago he examined Mr. Gwyon in connection with a pension scheme, and found that he was suffering from heart trouble and marked nervous debility. The rector was always anticipating trouble and fearing that something would happen. He said he was resigning the living if the medical certificate were sufficient to ensure him a pension,
Mr. H. T. A Dashwood, "the Bishop's secretary said: "I am giad to say there is not a word of truth in the statement that Mr. Gwyon was being turned out of his living
"For some time Bishop Talbot. and the present Bishop of Guildford have been trying to relieve Mr. Gwyon of his work by obtaining a pension for him. The net value of his living was £200 a year, and 5,738.77 arrangements had been made to give 727.97hing 175 a year if he desired to
