The death took place on December 29 of the Rev. T. G. Wilkinson, minor canon of Down Cathedral, who was shot a year ago by Sinn Feiners. They were raiding an Excise office in Downpatrick, and Mr. Wilkinson, who was in his night clothes, went to the rescue of caretaker's wife, and attacked the raiders with a poker. His life was despaired of for a time, and, not being a robust man, he never fully recovered. He was a son of Sir Hiram Wilkinson, formerly Chief Justice of the British Supreme Court in China.
