for tlie zeal, ardour, and assiduity witli wliicli he devoted himself to 

 learning, and was equally celebrated for his piety and religious fervour. 

 He was appointed Yice-Eector of the English College at Eome about 

 1821-2, a position he retained until 1825. He was then for twelve 

 years Hrofessor of Poetry, Philosophy, and Theology at his alma mater, 

 Ushaw. After being at Puddingtou, near Chester, Euxton, and Chorley, 

 for some years, he came to the place where he passed the closing years 

 of his life. His promise of zeal he displayed when at school was fully 

 realised in Mr. GiUow during life. It is said that he celebrated mass, 

 etc., when scarcely able to stand through weakness. Peacefully and 

 quietly he passed away on Sunday, Nov. 3rd, IS.'iS, leaving his people 

 to mourn for one who had been their friend, their counsellor, and 

 guide. He was followed to the grave by a distinguished company of 

 Catholic clergy. In private life he was a man of few wants ; frugal 

 and self-denying, he was kind and indulgent to others, and had a 

 heart and hand "open as daj' to melting charity." He lies interred 

 in the cemetery at Newsham, his grave being next to that of his pre- 

 decessor, the Eev. J. B. Marsh.
