Her untimely death, therefore, will long be deplored by her numerous relatives and friends.

SUDDEN DEATH
On Sunday last, at about five o’clock in the afternoon, a person called upon Dr. MACARTNEY of Wynberg, and with great anxiety requested his immediate attendance in the neighbourhood, his friend, as he stated, being apparently dead. The doctor hastened to the place, near a public house kept by a person named HARRISON, and found the individual stretched on a bed. It was stated that the deceased had died of apoplexy, and was found in that state by his friends; he had left Cape Town in good health. The deceased has left a widow and six children to deplore his loss to them. A Magistrate was sent for to inspect the body; but our Correspondent, from whom we have obtained this statement, remarks that a Coroner’s Inquest in this and similar cases would be preferable, if their proceedings were published. It appears that the deceased was afflicted with frequent fits of epilepsy; and his relatives suppose that he expire while laboring under an attack of this malady. He was in treaty with HARRISON for the purchase or exchange of his premises at Wynberg.
