THE TEDWORTH HUNT.—A meeting of gentlemen
interested in maintaining the hunting of the country so
many years held by the late Mr. Assheton Smith was held
yesterday afternoon at the Star and Garter Hotel, Andover,
the most noble the Marquis of Ailesbury in the chair, when
it was resolved to accept Mrs. Assheton's Smith's kind and
liberal offer of her late husband's hounds ; it was also re-
solved that the Marquis of Ailesbury, Sir John Palen,
and Sir E. Antrobus be a committee for the manage-
ment of the hunt ; that the thanks of the gentlemen of the
hunt be conveyed to Mrs. Assheton. Smith by the com-
mittee for her very handsome and liberal donation of the
hounds; that Messrs. Heath, bankers, of Andover, be
appointed treasurers of the hunt ; and that Mr. J.
H. Brewer, of Garlogs, Wallon, Hants, be the secre-
tary. A vote of thanks was also unanimously accorded to
the Marquis of Ailesbury for his conduct in the chair, and
before the meeting separated the following resolution was
also passed :—" That this meeting of gentlemen interested
in the Tedworth hunt cannot separate without recording
the sense of gratitude they entertain for the liberal and
sportsman-like manner in which the late Mr. Assheton
Smith hunted this country during the long period of 31
years ; and they deeply and sincerely deplore the loss of a
warm-hearted friend and neighbour. '

RELEASE OF THREE PRISONERS FROM GAOL.—A
communication has been received, addressed to Mr. Warren,
the recorder, from the Secretary of State, to the effect that he
had had his attention called by Sir William Jolliffe to the
cases of William and John Richardson and Francis
Shakesby, three prisoners in the Hull gaol, and in whose
behalf Mr. Warren had interested himself, and that he had
felt warrated under all the circumstances, as there appeared
to have been no failure of justice, in recommending the
Lords of the Treasury to remit the recognisances of those
men, and to authorise their immediate discharge. It appears
that nearly two years ago a man named Richardson was
charged before Mr. Travis With stabbing, was com-
mitted for trial, and bail accepted for his appearance.
When called upon at the sessions he did not answer, and
his recognisance and those of his two sureties were estreated.
However, it turned out that he had merely been detained
at one of bridges, as he appeared in court a few minutes
afterwards. He was tried and sent to prison for the offence.
of which he had been found guilty. It seems that the then
clerk of the peace did not alter the order for estreating the
recognisances, and about a fortnight ago Richardson and
his two sureties were called upon to pay the amount which
had been estreated. They could not, however, pay, and
had to go to gaol. Mr. Travis, while visiting the gaol,
heard the statement of the men, and he at once wrote to the
Recorder, who forwarded the letter to the proper autho-
rities, and the result is that the men have been released.—
