EIHLFT ESBURY.

Po'l9ollllo or Forza—Lady Theodora Grosvenor
has just addressed a letter to her steward, Mr. Basket*
complaining of the poisoning of foxes on the Dorset.
shire estate of the Dowager Marchioness of Westmins-
ter. Several foxes, she says, have lately been poisoned
—one on the very day that Mr. Portman's hounds
were at King's Court. She adds :—" Poisoning foxes
is • dastardly potion, and one which brings • very bad
name on • country, acid is also dangerous to the hounds;
certainlyino master would care to risk bringing his hounds
into • *wintry where it is made • practice of; Were
the hunting stopped the farmers would be the first to
suffer. I believe myself that most of the tenants are
friendly to the bunting ; I am still more sure that few,
if any, would willingly annoy Lady Westminster or
myself. But this poisoning must not go on. I reckon
confidently on the oordied assistance of the farmers in
our endeavour to discover where the foul play Is going
.on, and I trust they will all w orb together and do
their utmost to bring to light the authors of • praotioe
which has, I Uri vexed to say, already brought our
part of the country Into bad repute."
