      MR GEORGE RENWICK.

      The many friends of Mr George Renwick will regret to learn of his death, which occurred late on Monday night, at his residence, Kaikoura, at the age of 80 years. The late Mr Renwick was born in England, and came to New Zealand at an early age, and had resided in Kaikoura for upwards of sixty years. He was one of the hardy pioneers who knew what it was to go through the trials incidental to early settlement in this district. He married the daughter of the late Mr and Mrs S. Poulter, and a family of eighteen resulted, fourteen of the family living, nine boys and five girls. His wife predeceased him by about 21 months. Recently Mr Renwick paid a visit to Hamner, but on returning home he became ill, and did not recover.

      The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, a large number of old identities attending as a last mark of respect to the deceased. The Rev. C. F. Saunders officiated at the funeral ceremony.
