Skeletons of a man and a woman were unearthed by workmen in excavations in Falcon Street. Ipswich. They are thought to belong to persons who died in the Great Plague m the year 1664. It will be remembered that some few weeks ago Mr G. D. Greenwood was awarded in the Christchurch Supreme Court £4oo' damages for the loss of his thoroughbred mare Slaveaway. The case has been finally settled (says the “Press”) in a way that, speaks well for the generosity of the well-known Canterbury sportsman. A committee of Amberley residents waited on MiGreenwood and represented that it would be a very serious hardship if _Mr Hadler, the defendant in the action, who is’ the owner of a threshing machine, had to satisfy the judgment. After a little, discussion, Mr Greenwood said he would make the defendant m the case a present of the amount of damages a warded, and that he need not pay a penny. The committee expressed their appreciation of this very generous offer, and joined in wishing Mr Greenwood the best of good luck during the present racing season.
