He came from Victoria with the finest flock of sheep ever sent here, and when rrns were original l y submitted for competition, Mr Chapman became lessee for run No. 1, part of which is now his freehold. Captain Dugald Macfarlane, a Waterloo veteran, and an old colonist, died at the age of 92. GREYMOUTH, This day. A fireman, named Gosling, who was on board the Lioness at the time of the wreck and met with an accident died in the hospital last night. The immediate cause of death was inflammation of the lungs, brought on, it is supposed, through not changing his wet clothes, after the occurrence. The deceased was 46 years of age, and is evd to have a brother at Wellington. The 'jody of E ill killed by the recent fall of earth at Red Jack’s, has been recovered. It would appear from the distance between the bodies, and the position in which they laid, that Devery had seen danger, and endeavored to make his escape, but was overtaken before he got far enough away. Hill must have been completely surprised by the slip, and was killed at once. Hill’s body was shockingly mutilated. AUCKLAND, This Day. News by cable states that Miss Lovegrove, from New Zealand, has laid claim to the Derwentwater Estates, and has roused into action the local claimant, named Pearce, of Newmarket. He considers he has some right to the property, which has so long gone abegging, and bases it on the following pedigree : —His father-in-law was Capt. "Robert Good, and Capt. Good’s great grandfather was Lord Petrie, who married the only daughter of the executed Earl of Derwentwater. The latter had an only son, who was killed in France, leaving no issue. Mr Pearce states that Capt. Good more than 50 years ago made application for the estates, but through some informality over a baptismal certificate failed to get possession. Mr. Pearce feels he has a stake in the business, and is going to write to a brother-in-law of the son of Capt. Good to incite him to watch narrowly after the family interests. TIMARU, This Day.
