COURSING.—THE GAME LAws.—A vast
number of informations recently have been laid ander the
Gam:i-laws, to recover penalties from farmers and trades-
men for being present at, and assisting in, coursing.
We have been horrified by hearing of the most
extensive mortality we ever remember to have known from
eating noxious food, that occurred within the last few slays
near Pantura. It appears that two turtles were caught
and brought to the bazaar, where they were cut up and
sold ; and that every individual who ate part of them was
seized in about 24 hours with a species of cholera, of
which it has been ascertained beyond a doubt at least 38
persons (men, women, and children), died, and that up-
wards of 40 more are dangerously unwell.—East India

WAGES OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.--.
It appears that the custom of boroughs maintaining their
Representatives in Parliament had not ceased in the
early portion of last century. Hail, whose collections
were brought down to about 1739, speaking of Hel-
stone says, " This place and others in Cornwall, are not
able to maintain their burgesses in London during the Ses-
sions at theiriown proper cots and charges (as of old was
accustomed) in any told able post or grandeur ; but have
found that profitable expedient (as many others) of making
countrygentlemen free of their town, who bear the bur.
den and heat of the day for the honour of their cor-
porations, distret,s their paternal estates to exalt the
reputation and perpetuate the privileges of a petty so-
ciety, made up of mechanics, tradesmen, and inferior
practioners of the law." The same author states that
" Padstcw, Lelent, and Marszion, formerly sent Members
to Parliament. but were excused upon their petition on the
score of poverty."
