lii PKOCEEDINGS OF TUE 



Dr. Brownlow North, then Bishop of Winchester, to the living of 

 Bishopstoke, and in the early part of the year 1840, on the death 

 of Dr. Eennell, he was promoted to the deanery of Winchester. 

 He continued to take his part as Dean in the services of the 

 cathedral until some time after he had completed his ninetieth 

 year. 



Dean Garnier married in the year 1806, Mary, daughter of the 

 late Mr. Caleb Hillyer Parry, M.D., of the city of Bath, and sister 

 of the late well-knovs^n Arctic navigator. Sir William Edward Parry, 

 E.N. By her he had a family of two daughters and four sons. 

 His eldest son was lost many years ago in Her Majesty's ship 

 ' Delight,' off the island of Mauritius ; another, Henry, was a dis- 

 tinguished officer of the Madras Cavalry ; another, John, in holy 

 orders, died when only twenty-five years of age, while Fellow of 

 Merton College, Oxford; and another, Thomas, the survivor of 

 the four, having for some years held the rectory of Trinity Church, 

 Marylebone, was promoted in 1860 to the Deanery of E-ipon, and 

 subsequently transferred to that of Lincoln, but died a few months 

 after his translation to the latter dignity in December 1863. 



Before Dr. Garnier entered the office of Dean of Winchester, and 

 whilst he was rector of Bishopstoke, the rectory gardens were for a 

 long time the resort of the lovers of horticulture ; and the rector 

 exerted himself to bring the laity and clergy into frequent and 

 useful connexion. His hospitality and his zeal in encouraging 

 public institutions, such as the Museum (to which he was a frequent 

 contributor) and the Mechanics' Institute, were of the greatest 

 advantage to the inhabitants of Winchester ; and the students of 

 the Training College for Masters were, by his frequent prizes for 

 distinguished merit and other acts of consideration towards them, 

 familiarized with the name of " the Dean," and were able to appre- 

 ciate the value of the combination of personal worth with the 

 tenure of high ecclesiastical office. 



In 1868 Dr. Garnier resigned the Eectory of Bishopstoke, and 

 in October 1872 he resigned the Deanery of Winchester. 



Dr. Garnier was elected a Fellow of this Society on the 16th 

 of October 1798. He was the last survivor of those who paid the 

 original rate of subscription, viz. £.1 Is. annually. When his 

 proposer, Sir Joseph Banks, recommended him to pay a life com- 

 position, which was then only £10 10s., he declined to do so, 

 saying he did not consider his life worth ten years' purchase.
