The Bishop of Chichester, Dr. G. K. A. Bell, writes these words in a letter to Mr. James P. Bunting, the son! of the Sussex curate who, with his wife, was found gassed in his Camelsdale home.

At the inquest the jury censured M. Bunting for not helping his parents when they were in financial difficulties. The foreman. anid that they thought the son "ucted in a yery callous manner in not coming forward to see his father."
