8.--Died at Wymondham Vicarage, in his 96th year, the Rev. Robert Eden,
M.A., Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and honorary canon of
Norwich Cathedral. He was the author of several works, including "The
Churchman's Theological Dictionary," "Some Thoughts on the Inspiration of
the Holy Scriptures," "A History of Preaching," "The Title Page of the
Revised Version of the Holy Bible," &c. In his young days Canon Eden was

appointed Sheriff of Norwich.
18.--The Norwich and Norfolk Conservative Club was opened in its new
premises, the Royal Arcade, Norwich. Sir Alfred Jodrell, Bart., presided
on the occasion.
26.--The remarkable recovery of a lost register belonging to the parish
of Gressenhall was reported. "The books, which dated from 1538 to 1710,
were discovered lying on a shelf in an upper room with a number of other
old documents, at Docking Hall. A certain Hon. Hugh Charles Hare, who
was rector of Docking from 1708 to 1711, was also rector of Gressenhall,
and probably to him may be traced the removal of the books to Docking,
where they had remained for nearly two hundred years."
28.--The 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars, arrived by train at Norwich, from
Southampton, where they had disembarked the same day from the Simla.
