Mr. Joseph Stines has been instructed to sell this Estate by Public Sale in front of the Commercial Exchange, Little Port Royal Street, Kingston, on Monday, 23^rd February, 1880. At one o'clock precisely.

Plants ......................... 78 Acres

Ratons ....................... 86 Ditto

.................................164 Acres

Estimated to yield 200 Hogsheads Sugar and 200 Puncheons Rum, equivalent to two and half casks per acre, and such is the RICH character of the Soil that frequently three casks of Sugar and Rum are the yield per acre.

The Centrifugals and other Machinery are all in good order.

March 18, 1880

We regret to learn that an accident, which might have been attended with serious consequences, occurred on Friday last to Mr. W. Y. Garsia, Inspector of Immigrants, whilst in the discharge of his duties. Mr. Garsia had ridden up the hill, and got safely into Whitney Estate, when his horse suddenly became frightened from the noise of a ricketty old cart behind, and galloped away at a fearful rate. Mr. Garsia, who is by no means the best of riders, was heavily thrown, and at some distance, receiving a severe blow on the left collar bone, and spraining one of the fingers on the right hand. With the aid of Mr. Douet, the manager of the estate, Mr. Garsia was lifted from his fallen position and taken to the house, where every attention was paid him. We are glad no bones were broken.
