Transcribed from CO53/20 at the National Archives in Kew, London 5 July 1853 DIED on Friday 1st July 1853, Mrs. M. KEULDER, the beloved wife of Charles H. KEULDER Esq, Field-cornet, aged 60 years and 3 months, after a few hours illness, leaving a disconsolate husband and 4 children to lament her loss. Her end was peace. 19 July 1853 BIRTH at King William's Town on the 15th instant, Mrs. J.P. KIDSON of a daughter. BIRTH at Fort Peddie on the 5th instant, the wife of N. O'CONNOR Esq, M.D, Staff Surgeon, of a daughter. 26 July 1853 Mr. RAWLINSON of Umgeni has again favoured the town of Pietermaritzburg by a shew and sale of the finest oranges the Colony can produce. We pronounce them unrivalled in size, quality and flavor. 2 August 1853 Accident to the Graham's Town Mail On Wednesday morning the mail from Graham's Town dit [sic] not arrive till nearly one o'clock. We understand that this was owing to the Driver, who got out of the cart, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Sidbury, having received a severe kick from one of the horses, which deprived him of his senses, where he lay until he recovered. It is certainly rather remarkable that a horse so vicious, as seriously to injure the driver, should quietly remain still until the man recovered! Mr. W.M. HARRIES We are sorry to state that this gentleman met with a severe accident yesterday evening by which it is feared that some of his ribs have been broken. We understand that it was occasioned by his taking a false step when he was entering the building now being erected for a theatre, by which he was plunged down a flight of steps on to a piece of plank. We hear he is doing well, 9 August 1853 DIED on the 11th June at the farm of his Son-in-Law (Mr. C. F. JANSE VAN RENSBURG), Zandvlakte, in the District of Uitenhage, Mr. J.C. VOGEL, aged 85 years 9 months and 14 days. C.F.J. VAN RENSBURG 23 August 1853 BIRTH at King William's Town on Wednesday the 17th August, the Lady of C. BROWNLEE Esq, Gaika Commissioner, of a son.
