BIRTH on the 27th May 1842, at Plumstead Cottage, Wynberg, the lady of Capt John S. YOUNG, Commandant of the 5th Regt Cavalry of His Highness the Nizam’s Army, of a son.
We understand that Major SELWYN R.E. has just sold his farm on the Kareiga for the sum of £2,500. Lieut. DANIELL, of Sidbury, is the purchaser. This farm, as we learn, was bought before the late Kafir irruption for £600, by an individual for whom two parties became responsible. The buyer became insolvent, and the securities thought they were ruined by being compelled to take the farm over at that valuation. These parties, however, sold the property for £750; after which it realised £1050, and it has recently fetched the sum we have mentioned. The farm comprises 2,800 morgen, and is about 11 miles distant from Graham’s Town.
We understand that some doubts existed in the minds of the Directors of the E.P. Fire Assurance Company as to whether the whole of the damage lately done to Lieut. DANIELL’s house at Sidbury was the effect of lightning. They have, however, with commendable liberality, given the sufferer in this instance the benefit of the doubt, and agreed to make good the entire loss which has been sustained, amounting, we believe, to about £120.
