We greatly regret to record the death of Mr. Frederick
Wrench who was very well known as a Land Commissioner in Ireland, and was . appointed a member of the Privy Council. Last year Mr. Wrench becanic one of the proprietors of the Spectator and thenceforward, in spite Of severe illness, he took an intimate and deeply sympathetic interest in the paper. His services to Ireland were valuable not only because he always had his heart in the land but because he had studied tenure and the conditions of the peasantry in almost every European country. His friend- ship for men was equalled only by his natural love Of animals. The Times says that no one who was fortunate enough to' be" piloted round the West of Ireland by Mr. Wrench could ever forget the experience or fail to note the number of friends he had wherever he went."
