to bring out native talent and worth. His Archdeacon, Koshi
Koshi, for instance, was the first Hindu ever raised to that
dignity — a dignity which I, who knew him intimately for twelve
years, can testify that he well deserves. Not a few of those,
too, now reaching middle life in Travancore and Cochin, can
bless the day when they were pupils of John Martindale
Speechly in the Cambridge Nicholson Institution.
R. C.
A correspondent adds the following with regard to Bishop
Speechly's subsequent work at home : — " His resignation of the
see of Travancore and Cochin took effect in January, 1889, and
before leaving India early in the preceding year he was the
recipient of many testimonials showing the respect and affection
with those whom he had left behind entertained for him. I
have also before me two letters from the late Bishop of Win-
Chester, when Bishop of Rochester, for whom Bishop Speechly
took several confirmations in April and May, 1889. In one of
these Bishop Thorold informs him that 'he has not had a
thought of anxiety, knowing that his flock is in safe hands/ and
in the other he thanks him for * the spiritual blessing he had
been the means of conferring, with God's help, on all parts of
the diocese,' and he expresses joy that his 'brother' of Truro
should have Bishop Speechly's aid. The Archbishop's Com-
mission appointing him Bishop-Commissary of Truro, given
under his Grace's own archiepiscopal seal, is dated May 17, 1 889 ;
and in June he went down to Truro, remaining in Cornwall in
this capacity for close upon Iwo years. On relinquishing his
commission, on the return of the Bishop, he was again the

recipient of many resolations, letters, &c., all testifying to the
esteem in which the Cornish clergy held him. Canon A. J.
Worlledge, Chancellor of the cathedral and secretary to the
Truro Chapter, has forwarded to Mrs Speechly a resolution
passed at the last meeting, sympathising with her and her
family in their sorrow, and expressing ' their grateful sense of
the services which, by his devotion, ability, and loyalty, com-
bined with sympathy, he rendered to the diocese.' The then
Bishop, now Bishop of St Andrews, also testified, both publicly
and privately, to the high opinion which he held for Bishop
Speechly. In writing to his family now he says, * No words
can express what I owe to the dear Bishop for all the help
which he gave me when I was ill at Truro.' After leaving
Cornwall he took duty for the rectors of High Halden and
Kingstone-by-Canterbury, and for the vicar of Shortlands, and
in May, 1892, the late Archbishop presented him to the living
of Hernhill, Faversham. Here he has since laboured, rendering
assistance at various times to the present Archbishop, both
when Bishop of London and since his elevation to the Primacy,
and also to the present Bishop of Winchester. His death was
very sudden, but quite peaceful, and he has been laid to rest
in the cemetery at his birthplace, Whittlesey, in Cambridgeshire.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on Bishop Speechly's many and
various good qualities, his loyalty and devotion to the Church
he loved so well, his highmindedness, his uprightness, his
unflinching truthfulness, and his goodness. But one other
quotation may be mentioned, that of the present Primate of
All England. His Grace says, in his letter of sympathy to the
family, ' He has been a true servant of God for many years.
He has won the respect and affection of all who knew him.
He has shown himself worthy of all trust and confidence.' "
The following Speech (here printed for the first time) was
delivered by the Public Orator, Mr Sandys, on October 16, 1879,
in presenting Bishop Speechly for the degree of D.D. jure
dignitatis : —

Rev William Chatterly Bishop M.A.
The Rev W. C. Bishop, formerly Fellow of the College, died
on the 2sth December 1897, *^ ^^^ residence 13 St Mary
Crescent, Leamington, aged 84.
The late Mr Bishop was the eldest surviving son of Mr
William Bishop, of Shelton-hall. He was born on April 24, 1813,
and was educated at Newcastle Grammar School and St John's
College, being admitted a Fellow on ig March 1839. He took
his B.A. in 1835 and his M.A. in 1838. He was ordained
Deacon and Priest in 1837. ^® ^^^ Curate of St Dunstan's-
in-the-West, Fleet-street, 1837-1839; Vicar of St Katharine's,
Northampton, 1839-1843; Chaplain Northampton County Gaol,
1843-1850; Curate of Cold Overton, 1850-1852; Vicar of
Upton, Northants, 1851-1868; Curate of Cranley. Northants,
1855-1862. During his residence in Leamington he rendered
much and valuable help to the Vicars of St Mary's and St
Paul's through a long series of years, and he had been a very
well-known and frequent chairman and speaker at Meetings of
the Bible Society, C.M.S., and the London Jews Society. Mr
Bishop was married on January ri, 1840 ^ihe day after the
marriage of Queen Victoria to the Prince Consort) to Janet, sister
of the late Sir VV. Dunbar, Bart. Mrs Bishop died on May 18,
1894. Mr Bishop, who died at the advanced age of eighty-four
years, recollected as a boy seeing the tables laid for feasts in
honour of the accession of George IV. As a young man he saw
a herald ride into Oxford and proclaim William IV. He was in full
Orders before the accession of Queen Victoria, and was one of

those selected to represent the University of Cambridge in pre-
senting an address of congratulation on her accession, and he
always remembered the beautiful silvery voice in which the
Queen made her reply to the address. At the Chartists' Riots
in 1842 his father^s house, Shelton-hall, was in imminent peril
of being sacked, but owing to the opportune arrival of the
military the rioters were dispersed. The Rev. W. C. Bishop
was throughout an Evangelical Churchman, with a very strong
love for the Church of England and her services ; but he was
one who was most tolerant to those who differed from him, and
had many friends among the Nonconformists. At Cambridge
one of his friends was the late Canon Hoare, of Tunbridge
Wells. Another (Senior Wrangler in his year) was the Rev
Alfred Cotterill, afterwards Bishop in South Africa. Mr Bishop
used to attend the Rev Charles Simeon's Meetings for under-
graduates on Friday evenings, and was present at his funeral.
During the last few years of his life Mr Bishop did a great deal
of quiet, unostentatious work. He had helped in the services
at St Mary's very frequently until within the last year or two>
and his beautiful and devout reading of the prayers was greatly
appreciated. He was specially valued by the sick, whom he
diligently visited. The reality of his Christian character and
his deep Christian experience made him a great comfort to
them. A friend of fifty-seven years' standing said of him
recently, " I never knew him say or do an inconsistent thing^"
He will long be remembered in Leamington, and especially in
St Mary's parish, where he had been so useful and beloveds—
{The Record, 7 January 1898).
Rev George James Atkill M.A.
The Rev G. J. Athill, Vicar of St Bartholomew's Hyde,
Winchester, died at the Vicarage on Monday the 1 3 December.
We take the following account of him from The Hampshire
Chronicle of December 1 5.
The Rev George James Athill was the eldest son of the late
George Athill, Esq, of Bridge Place, near Canterbury, and was
born in 1845. He was educated at St John's College, Cam-
bridge, where he took his B.A. degree in 1874, and proceeded
M.A. in 1878. He was ordained deacon in 1874 and priest in
1875 by the Bishop of Chester.

On his ordination he assumed the curacy of Christ Chnrch,
Boodle. After remaining there three years he went as curate
to St. Mary's, Truro, now Truro Cathedral. Two years later
he was appointed Diocesan Inspector for the Diocese of Truro,
and in 1883 the Bishop of Winchester asked him to undertake
similar work in this Diocese. During the eleven years that he
held this post he had the opportunity of becoming acquainted
with almost every parish in the Diocese. The great educational
and religious movement during those years no doubt is re-
sponsible for very much of the improvement in religious
knowledge and religious teaching in our schools, at the same
time the earnest work of the Diocesan Inspector, the great
interest he took in all whom he met, his cheerful encourage-
ment and kindly advice must have its meed of praise. He not
only had a devout desire to make the rising generation more
God-fearing, but he carried with him those who assisted in
his work of inspection, as well as the managers and teachers.
Perhaps one secret of his success lies in the fact that he was
always the same, always even-tempered, always cheerful. In
1895 he succeeded the late Canon Humbert as Vicar of St
Bartholomew Hyde, on the presentation of the Lord Chancellor.
In such a well-worked parish it was not possible to do much
more than keep up the Church work which he found going on.
But he at once threw himself with energy into his work. Kis
parish — the sick and dying, as well as the whole — found in
him a friend, and got the sympathy they needed. His mind
was always active for the good of his parish, and at the time
of his death he was busy completing the arrangements for a
site for a new parish room.
Mr Athill married in 1877 Miss Eleanor Johnson, elder
daughter of the late Henry Johnson, Esq, of Walton-on-the-hill,
near Liverpool, who survives him, and by whom he has left
hree daughters.
