THE CORRECT SPELLING OF KELBURN.
Sir,—With regard to the paragraph in to-day's Dominion as to the correct spelling of the word Kolburn, may I be pormitted to observe that both ways may be considered to be correct. Kelburn was the old method of spelling. The cstato bora this name in the year 1580. The "e" was tacked on towards the end of the eighteenth century, and was used by the Lord Glasgow of racing famo when he bore the name. The name-was spelt with the "c" until six years ago, when tho writer of this letter decided to revert to the older form. In very early days the name was spelt Caulburn.—l am, etc.. KBI/BURN,. Commander, R.N. Wellington, February 9th. ?
