variously called Sunnyside and Shirley House. Perhaps he changed its name in honour of his first wife. It was described as being at the north end of Bonham Road and a fine dwelling in large grounds. In 1887 he was living in Seymour Terrace. In that year he had a house, which he called Stonyhurst, built in what is now Coombe Road. In 1889 he had a terrace of three houses built at Magazine Gap. They came to be called Magdalen Terrace, per- haps in honour of his second wife. In 1896 he auctioned the con- tents of No. 3, Magdalen Terrace, 540 lots in all. At the time of his death he also owned a plot, No. 84, which was not built on. So far as I know the only remaining building in which he lived or worked is Stonyhurst, a fine house which must be one of the oldest Euro-

pean houses in Hong Kong.
