FATAL Fox HUNT.---On Tuesday last Sir James Flower's
Hounds met at Tibenham to run a fine fox, which had been
presented for the occasion by Mr. Webb of Hempnall. The
field was very select and comprised upwards of fifty of the most
crack sportsmen of this part of the county. The hounds were
laid on at Tibenham, near the Benham boundary, and from
thence were followed by the field at a slashing pace for the first
hour and forty minutes without a check. The run was from
Tibenham through Aslacton, Bunwell, Forncett St. Peter,
Tacolneston, Forncett St. Mary, Tharston, Hapton, Flordon,
Bracon, Mulbarton, Newton, Swainsthorpe, Dunston, Swar.
deston, Keswick, Lakenham, and thence, leading back, to
Markshall, where reynard ran to earth in a plantation on Mr.
Gillett's farm. We turn from the scene and subject of plea-
sure to a catastrophe by which they were clouded. It is our
painful task to record the death of our late worthy citizen and
Sheriff, Mr. Chambers, who died in the course of the run we
have just described, and which he had been greatly instrumental
in originating and arranging. He had ridden about five or six
miles, and had pulled up and was conversing with some gen-
tlemen near him, when he fell suddenly from his saddle and in
a few minutes expired. A medical gentleman was on the spot,
but his aid could be of no avail.
