The couple with whom the retired farmer lived had taken a furnished house in Woking on a short tenancy. People in the district noticed that the man had a chest complaint and a persistent cough.

Many who remember him have told me to-day that, despite his age, he was surprisingly active and ställ Ee took an interest in farming, remarked to several that he had been a breeder of thoroughbred cows, and prided himself. on his farming associations

It was his practice to take a short daily walk away from the village and to spend the rest of the day in the beautiful rose garden ad- joining the house.

Mr. Wills Taylor, the coroner, viewed the body, which was in mediately reinterred, and it de- pends entirely upon the nature of whether inquest will be held or not
