Earthquake Timaru 28 Dec 1867
Evening Post 9 Jan 1868

Another, and a rather severe, shock of earthquake was felt in
many parts of the district on Saturday morning, about one
o'clock. The shock was felt by numbers of people in town, who
were woke up by the noise made by the moving of glasses in
their bedrooms. We have received accounts from the Orari and
the Cave of the shock being felt in each of those districts.
To the south of Timaru it was also felt, and at once recognised.
