HUNTING.

A GOOD DAY'S SPORT.—Lord Segrave's -gallant pack met
on Wednesday at the Borrow and Down Hatherley Woods,
where they soon found a fox of unflinching courage. Every
eye was on the look-out for reynard to break, which he soon
did, in view of his Lordship, who lost no time in getting his
hounds out. Off they went at a slapping pace for two miles,
when they came to a slight check, the scent getting cold, in
the direction of Norton Hill, towards Twigworth, when rey-
nard, knowing the country, went straight to Norton through
the covers, skirting the Severn side, thence across the Leigh
meadows over the turnpike-road five miles from Tewkesbury,
thence to his old quarters, Hatherley; but being hotly pressed
he was soon dislodged, and took to Badgworth. Being headed
he again pointed towards Norton, across a flat country for
about two miles, when fie altered his course, and went straight
for Chosen Hill, crossing the Gloucester and Cheltenham-
road. At this time the field was very select, and going at a
good pace. Reaching Chosen Hill, here came the tug, when
it became " bellows to mend ;" a walk was the best pace,and
many dismounted to climb the hill. near the top of which poor
reynard was gallantly run into in an open pasture, after a chase
of two hours and a quarter. The whole distance could not
have been much less than twenty miles, across a heavy country.
THE NORTH.—Abercairney's Fox Hounds have had a series
of unusually good sport, in particular on Tuesday, the sth,
from Strathallan. Having been shot through with spaniels,
the first covers, generally a sure find, were drawn blank, and
the large planting next Tullybardine Moor was tried. The
hounds were hardly in when they came upon a fine fox, who
jumped out close before them from a large bunch of heather,
and, without the least attempt to hang, went away like light-
ning with a burning scent over West Third Strathallan Woods,
on by Milton and Ladyton to Auchnaglen. This burst was so
tremendously fast that not one could fairly be said to have lain
with the hounds ; he then turned to his right, into and through
Pirn Hill, on near the village of Muthill into Culdes, across
the Machony, and skirting Peddie's Fauld, over a very deep
country to Strathallan Park, where he got into a drain. Here
it was thought his days were to end, and the field generally
gave their horses to some country people to hold. A hole was
made at the top of the drain, and a terrier put in, when a
splendid fox instantly bolted at the far end, the hounds well at
him ; a very high wall gave him a temporary advantage, and
away he went. The scene 'was in every way amusing. Think-
ing he must go for it, most of the field set away on foot; and
the Hon. Mr. Drummond and Mr. Athol M'Gregor had ac-
tually sent their horses home. Those %yho had horses got to
to them as well as they could, for the hounds were away like
wildfire, and the two above-named gentlemen followed on foot
at a pace that must have been seen to be credited, which,
though of course beat to nothing, until crossing his own resi-
dence, Machoney House, Mr. Drummond met his servant
watering a hack, and Mr. M'Gregor, falling in with Mr. So-
merville, a most respectable tradesman in Auchterarder, dis-
mounted him, and set out on the ,line. The fox went right
a-head nearly the same ground to Culdees, and it was flown
over in about twelve minutes. Here be again got into a drain,
whence be was bolted, and killed. There was a good field
besides those already named—Abercairney, Major Moray, Hon.
J. Rollo, Mr. Patterson of Carpue, Mr. Johnston, Captain
Hunter, Mr. Hunter, Messrs. Cox and Mansfield, 92d High-
landers ; and the writer of this.. The pace from first to last
was top ; the first and last brilliant. The country was hock
deep, fencing difficult, and it was a severe day for the horses,
who did their work well.

GREAT LEAP.—Last week, during a run of Mr. Muston's
hounds in Burton Meadows, Northamptonshire, a fine horse,
mounted by Lord Dorchester, of the 7th Hussars, made a beau-
tiful and surprising leap, which measured twenty-three feet.

To MANAGE A REARING HORSE.—In preference
to the dangerous experiment of pulling a rearing horse
backward, I recommend the adoption of the following
method :—Whenever you perceive the horse's inclination
to rear, separate your reins and prepare for him. The in-
stant he is about to rise, slacken one hand, and bend or
twist his head with the other, keeping your hands low.
This bending compels him to move a hind leg, and of
necessity brings his fore-feet down. Instantly twist him
completely round two or three times, which will confuse
him very much, and completely throw him off his guard.
The moment you have finished twisting him round, place
his head in the direction you wish him to proceed, apply
the spurs, and he will not fail to go forward ; if the situa-
tion be convenient, press him into a gallop, and apply the
spurs and whip two or three times severely. The horse
will not, perhaps, be quite satisfied with the first defeat, but
may feel disposed to try again for the mastery. Should this
be the case, you have only to twist him, &c., as before, and
you will find that in the second struggle he will be much
more easily subdued than on the former occasion—in fact,
you will perceive him quail under the operation, It rarely
happens that a rearing horse, after having been treated in
the way described, will resort to his tricks a third time.
But on going into other hands, and having another rider,
lie will be very likely to have recourse to rearing.—The
Sportsman.

TRIAL FOR MURDER.—III the High Court of
Justiciary, Glasgow, on Thursday, Ann Shaw took her trial
on the charge of having murdered Helen Kelly, on the 26th
of October last, by stabbing her with a knife on the left
breast. It.will be remembered that the prisoner and de-
ceased, who were neighbours, quarrelled on the above-
mentioned day, and prisoner, having at the time a knife
in her hand, inflicted the wound of which deceased died
in a few hours afterwards. There was a want of evi-
dence to prove that the blow which caused the death
of deceased was struck by the prisoner, but Lord
Mackenzie, in his charge to the Jury, stated his opinion
was unfavourable to the prisoner, and that he thought
the law required a verdict of guilty of murder. After
the Jury had been absent for nearly an hour it was re-
ported that seven were for culpable homicide, five for
guilty of murder, and three for a verdict of not proven.
The Judge having intimated that this was not a verdict,
and that they must again retire, they at length agreed to a
verdict Of " Guilty of culpable homicide ;" and the prisoner
was sentenced to 14 years' transportation.

LONDON, WEJJNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1836.

VICE CHANCERY-TUESDA Y.

MICHEL V. DE TASTE'.

The arguments of Counsel upon this heavy motion have
occupied the Court several days, and were only ooneluded
this morning.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared in support of the motion. Its
object was to compel the payment into Court of no less
a sum than 6.5,0001., the amount in dispute in this cause.
The plaintiff, Antoine Michel, was a very eminent banker
in Paris. The defendant was the son and successor in
business, and also the executor, of the late Fermin De
Tastet, a well known Spanish merchant, with whom, and
partly through the agency of the present defendant, the
plaintiff had the complicated transactions out of which the
present suit had sprung. The bill was filed on behalf of
the plaintiff and all the other creditors of Fermin De Tas-
tet. The sum in question had been received by Firmin
De Tastet under a convention between Great Britain
-and Spain for compromising the claims of British subjects
against the latter country, under the following circum-
stances :—lt appeared that about the year 1808 Michel
had a claim against the Spanish Government upon two
libranzas or Exchequer bills, for two million and a half
)f dollars, drawn upon the Treasury of Mexico. The
plaintiff indorsed the libranzas, for the purpose of
being presented to Messrs. Gordon and Murphy
of London, who were merchants trading with South
America. The bills became due in 1809, and were
I, presented for payment, but in consequence of the troubles
'which then prevailed in Old and New Spain they were dis-
honoured. After the restoration of the Spanish Monarchy
proceedings were taken in 'Spain to recover the amount of
the libranzas, and in this stage Firmin de Tastet, who had
the privileges of both a Spanish and British subject, pro-
fessed to Michel the ability of being particularly serviceable
to him in the prosecution of his claim, and offered his
assistance. His proposal was accepted ; and the scheme
and form of the transaction as arranged between them was,
that an assignment of the libranzas should be made to De
Tastet as a security for a debt due to him, and that he
should, on the other hand, execute a counter deed, expla-
natory of the real transaction. This arrangement was
carried into effect by two instruments executed at Paris in
September, 1816, by Michel in person, and by a person
named Bargue, who was acting under a power of attorney
from De Tastet. The Learned Counsel went at great
length into the case, and was followed by
Mr. WAKEFIELD, who addressed the Court on the part
of the defendant.

Mr. KoE next addressed the Court, and Mr. KNIGHT
to-day concluded his reply.
His HONOUR reserved his judgment.
