the 23d and 28th of January last, respectively, he was seen
coursing with grey-hounds at difil!rent places in tlle Isle of
Thanet; but there was no proof that on any of those days he
had had any success. On the 20th of January it was proved
that he was seen with three hares in his possession, which he
had killed.

It appeared on cross-examination that on n-.oit of th sc or-
