Rejoicings at Lochnell
Upon the news arriving here last week that the present laird of Lochnell was now the undisputed proprietor of the extensive estates of his ancestors, the tenantry on his estates determined to celebrate this auspicious event with every demonstration of respect and attachment to the young laid. The tenantry on Lochnell, Muckairn, Lismore, and Benderloch, to the number of upwards of three hundred, assembled at Lochnell, and quaffed a flowing bumper to the long life, prosperity and happiness of Lochnell, who, by his courteous and gentlemanly deportment, and the real and unaffected kindness of heart evinced in all his intercourse with the tenantry, has endeared himself not only to the whole body of his tenants, but to all with whom he has come in contact. Various other appropriate toasts were given, and were received with great applause; and the number meeting departed in high glee and good humour after giving three parting cheers, such as Highlanders only can give, for Lochnell and his speedy arrival in the country. In the evening several bonfires appeared on the hills above Ledaig and Lailt, which were fired amidst rounds of artillery which had been procured from Oban for the occasion. We understand the above proceedings are nothing to what is expected when Lochnell comes down in person in May next.
