SPORTING ENTRAOIU?INAJCV!_

On Monday last a hare was discovered by Mr. Thomas, of
the Ntlson Inn, near Southampton, on the mud near low water
mark. It was likewise observed by several Gentlemen in ail
same position for three hours. Mr. J. Hostler, having first
provided himself with a pair of mud-pattens proceeded to the
spot with a Newfoundland dog,when both harei and dog imme-
diately plunged into the water, and several times totally dis-
appeared from the astonished gaze of the spectators. At
length, after a chase of about 20 minutes, during which the
poor animal made DO less than thirty turns to escape the
vigilance of his pursuers, the hats was taken, and killed under
the walls of the Spa Gardens.

It appears by the Probate of the late Mr.
HICAUDO'S PA which was registered in the Prerogative
Court in Doctors Commons, on the 11th inst., that the amount
of personal property administered to, within the province of
Canterbury, was sworn under five hundred thousand pounds.
The Stamp duty on this sum is six thousands pounds, in.
dependently of the per tentage on legacies, which being
almost entirely to near relatives is bat small. The will is
dated the 4th of April, 1820. The testator has left to his
widow a legacy of four thousand pounds, arm) four thousand
pnuntls per annum for life (to be taken in lieu of dower.)
The house in Upper Brook-street is amongst the property direct-
ed to be sold, hut the furniture, with little exception, together
with carriages, horses, plate, library, wine, &c. are also given
to Mrs. Ricardo. The unmarried daughters have 20,01001. each,
and the married ones 6,0001. ; there is also, we believe, an ad-
ditional five thousand pounds to the &tighten by a codicil—
The estate of Bromesberrow, the White-leafed Oak estate, with
the furniture and effects, and others in the counties of Worces-
ter and Gloucester, are devised to the testator's son, Osman ;
and a clause relative to this devise states, that whereas one
Donovan has left by will directions to dispute the tesuttor's title
to the estate of Bromesberrow, the validity of which, he, how-
ever, is well assured of; but to indemnify the legatee for such
losses or expenses as may occur in defending any suit at law, he
devises fifty thousand pounds to be set apart for that purpose.
Gascomblatk, with all the furniture anti effects, and other
estates in the county of Gloucester, and the manor of ItTinsop-
court, in Herefordshire, are left to his son David; and Had-
low-place and Berrow, in Kent to his son Mortimer,—these'
three sons are also the residuary legatees. A silver vase, pre-
sented to the testator by the Members of the Stock Exchange,
is given to Osman. The said Osman Ricardo, anti the de-
ceased's brother, Francis Ricardo, are two of the executors,
and have joined in probate; but power is reserved over to
Mrs. Ricardo, who is also appointed to the same trust.
PERSILVERANCR REWARDED.—A Gentleman in
Hertfordshire, who had been for several years an
unsuccessful Adventurer in the Lottery, pur-
chased a Quarter at 'but's, previous to the com-
mencement of the present Lottery, No. 18981,
which was drawn a 101. Prize the firSt day ;
this he exchanged for an undrawn Quarter,
No. 18546, which also was drawn a 101. Prize
the second. Determined to follow up his luck,
he again exchanged his Prize for a Quarter,'
No. 18564, which, on the third day of Drawing,
(Thursday last) came up a Prize of 20,0.001. ;
the money for which he received the following
dab and invested in new 4 per cents.
