Regret will be expressed at the news that Mr. G. Alexander, of Devonport, who has been confined to his bed for some time, was last night reported in a precarious condition and his medical attendant did not expect him to live until the morning. Mr. Alexander, it will be remembered, had a stroke of paralysis some time ago, but recently hopes were entertained of his rallying and regaining his health.
