The magnetic properties of the ferrimagnetic cobaltite CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$ are systematically investigated. We find that the susceptibility exhibits a downward deviation below $\sim$ 360 K, suggesting the occurrence of short range magnetic correlations at temperature well above $T_C$. The effective moment is determined to be 4.5 $\mu_B$/f.u, which is consistent with that expected for the Co$^{2+}$/Co$^{3+}$ high spin species. Using a criterion given by Banerjee [Phys. Lett. \textbf{12}, 16 (1964)], we demonstrate that the paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic transition in CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$ has a first order character.
