The New Year honours list, in spite of some rumours

to the contrary, contained no new peerages. It contained the names of five Privy Councillors, nine Baronets, and twenty-five Knights, in addition to a number of Colonial and Indian honours. Among the Privy Councillors we may especially mention the Master of Elibank and Mr. William Abraham; and among the Knights, Captain Nott Bower (of the City Police), Mr. Sidney Colvin, Mr. Gomme (the clerk to the London County Council), Mr. Joseph Lyons, and Mr. Henry J. Wood. The South African honours include a baronetcy for Dr. Jameson and a K.O.M.G. for Sir Percy FitzPatrick.
