PERSONAL ITEMS.
From an English paper it appears that the next of kin of the lato William Price, of Indian fame, have made claims to his estate, which is worth £7,000,000. Two claimants are in America, two at Malvern, England, and two are at present in Christchurch — Mrs. Edward Vernon and Miss Agnes Mary Vernon. A well-known firm of solicitors in Christchurch, is conducting the case for the New Zealand claimants.
Lieutenant K. Hawdon, of the Christchurch City Rifles, has gained one of the Imperial commissions, two of which are annually bestowed by the Home Government to each of the colonies. Lieutenant Hawdon was the only successful New Zealand candidate this year. He has lately received an intimation that he has been appointed to the 24th Regiment, stationed in India, which, it will be remembered, was almost decimated during the Zulu war, and which, on that occasion, earned for itself the designation of * the gallant 24th."
