DIED at Port Louis, Island of Mauritius, on the 18th March last, Jean Joseph
MABILLE Esq, aged 74 years, after a residence of 41 years on that island, as
much lamented as he was respected by all who knew him.

DIED in Cape Town on the 20th instant, after most protracted sufferings,
Mrs. Geesje Wilhelmina CLOETE, widow of the late Jacob VAN REENEN Esq. With
a heart devoted to her Creator, she, in an eminent degree, was possessed of
all those amiable qualifications which rendered her an ornament to her sex,
and endeared her to all who knew her worth. 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.
