Will of Sir Burges Camac Leaves Estate to Sister
The late Sir Burges Camac bequeaths his entire real and personal estate to his sister Mrs. Bushby for her absolute use and appoints her executrix. The will, dated 1844, describes him as Knight of the Order of Charles Uff of Spain and Major-General in Queen Victoria's armies. A codicil dated November 1815, attempting liberal legacies to three godchildren, is invalid due to lack of witness. His Canterbury personal estate is valued under £10,000.

Duke of Cambridge Dismisses Potato Panic as a Report
Alderman Cute and the Duke voice confidence that the potato disease is exaggerated and not a true crisis. They criticize alarm, cite royal assurances, and note local actions such as Newcastle carting potatoes for manure and Bodmin exempting grain from tolls through December 1846.
