DUBLIN BANK MANAGER DEAD
Dublin, Monday.
Amongst a wide circle of friends, in public and in private life, very sincere regret will be felt at the announcement of the death of Mr Patrick Thomas Manning, Manager of the Arran Quay Branch of the National Bank, which occurred yesterday at his residence, Bank House, No. 33 Arran Quay. Mr Manning had been ailing for some little time past, but his death was not anticipated. Mr Manning belonged to a well-known Waterford family, distinguished in many walks of life. For several years his brother, Alderman John Manning, was Mayor of Waterford. Mr Michael Manning, the late lamented Town Clerk of Kingstown, was an accomplished journalist, while Bill and Ben won widespread fame as oarsmen and in athletics generally. The deceased himself held championship records in racquet and tennis. The only surviving brothers are Mr Paul V. Manning, Hibernian Bank, O'Connell street, and Jim, captain of the mercantile marine.
