BALLOT. —Mr. John Smith, of Harsley Grange, in Clove-
land, Yorkshire, has bought of Mr. H. Smithson, of Mal-
tob, this very promising bay two-year-old colt, son of
Underhand and Adelaide (Kapunda's dam), by Melbourne,
where ho intends him for the use of that district. Ballot is

like growing into a magnificent horse, has splendid action,
and is like getting first-class hunters or carriage horsey.
There is a great want in Cleveland of stud horses of this
description, so as to obtain more quality and blood, at the
same time retaining that fine coaching action. Mr. Smith
has now very happily introduced into that part of the
country a horse suitable and in every way likely to please
breeders.
Newbridge Steeple Chases.— This meeting, which is
generally the opening of the racing season in Ireland, is
fixed for January 22. Tho sport promises to be first-class,
end the introduction of flat racing into the progranrne is a
great improvement. Tho course, which is different from
last year, embraces a lot of fair hunting obstacles, and is
also well adapted for the flat, and being so near the Car-
mel a fine opportunity will be afforded trainers to give
their nags an early breathing.
Rillington. (Yorkshire) Raoes.—This little local affair
was brought to an issue on the 28th ult., and the principal
event, the Killington Stakes, was won by Mr. Barker's Miss
Cott, 3 yrs, 7st 41b, beating Southminster, aged, and two
others.—Mr. Barker's Pretty Girl carried off a Pony Race,
Capt. Potter's Mark Tapley was successful in a Hurdle
Race in heats, and a Scurry for a bridle fell to Mr. Shep-
herd's Malta, by Gibraltar.

A STAG HUNT IN FRANCE.
Tho form of hunting is medimval. You don't draw for

be impossible; you spot him by a sporting tout,

corner is a man with a horn, on which he

having, no doubt, good reasons for so doing, though what
those reasons are is thoroughly " Greek" to the humble and
less demonstrative foxhunter. I confess you get glorious
gallops; and to see the late Due do Morny's trainer sending
along a thorough-bred fresh from training is a sight! Now
the "Dutchman" blood can sail away whenit gets a chance
over the flat. Even the hounds—a good lot, from the best
English kennels—could not give the son of ourold "Flyer"
too much to do. The riding at this wicked hunt, as they
would call it, bedad, in Ireland, is certainly more curious
than pleasing. When I saw heavy military riders with the
most reckless seats, loose reins, and long spurs, which
worked, 1 fancy, often without the knowledge of their
wearers, I thought of Mr. Gamble, his horses, their condi-
tion, and then I wept! The take of a stag hero is a sight
not usual to English oyes. When the pack brings the quarry
to bay a whip gets off his horse, loads a small rifle, and
proceeds to pot the wretched stag. It is, of course, a frag-
ment of barbarity. At Compiegne is a palace which occu-
pies three sides of a great square, the fourth side being the
grand entrance. There is a largo courtyard to which, on
happy hunting nights (i.e., when there has been a kill), the

In the Queen's Bench on Thursday an action was tried,
brought by ono Ball, a farmer, against a kir. Ax.ted, for an
assault committed in the hunting field while trespassing on
plaintiff's grounds.
Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. H. James (with whom
was Mr. Harington) were for the plaintiff. No ono ap-
peared for the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff and his
wife, who seemed a decent hard-working couplo, that ho
occupied' and farmed a little land in the country near
Amersham, and that he objected to the irruption of hunters
into his fields. Lord Morley hunted that part of the coun-
try along with Mr. Gurney and many other gentlemen,
some of whom, of course, were known to the plaintiff, who,
indeed, stated that he had on other occasions warned them
off. On the occasion in question a large field had traversed
the plaintiff's land, and ho rushed out to remonstrate. He
,first caught a "gentleman in red," who declared he was
going off, and his only object was to be off as qUiekly as
possible, as the hounds were already gone. There was a
gate, however, which the plaintiff would not open, nor
allow the hunter to pass, and while- they were discussing
the matter the field appeared to be corning back, probably
through some turn of the fox. Thereupon the plaintiff
said he held up his hands to warn them off and " whistled
for his dog." What he wanted with his dog was not quite
clear, but when asked by the Lord Chief Justice he said it
was to "turn the fox." However, the field were not ar-
rested in the full heat of their pursuit and at the height of
their sport by the remonstrances of the plaintiff, even aided
by the appearance of his dog, and he ran after them to lay
hold of any one he could get at. The whole field, how-
ever, had passed away, except Mr. Gurney, who was of
course going after them as well as he could. The plain-
tiff arrested him as he was getting through a field, and
caught hold of his bridle. The defendant was not far off,
and, finding his companion thus arrested, came back to the
rescue, crying out (it was stated), " Give him the whip."
Mr. Gurney, however, did not strike him, and only strove
to got away ; nor, indeed, did it appear that the plaintiff
was struck at all, nor that any human being was struck
by the hunters wilfully; and the only blows intentionally
given fell upon the poor dog, whose part in the affair was
the only one that appeared to be considered unexception-
able. The plaintiff said he asked their names and addresses,
which in the heat of the encounter were not given to him,
but "chaffing sort of answers." Ho admitted, however,

The plaintiffs wife, hearing the altercation, had come out,
and the poor dog, seeing his master and mistress evidently
engaged in a scuffle, and pressed upon by the horsemen,
thought it his bounden duty to take their part, and began
to bark angrily to show his displeasure at their treatment.
Thereupon the defendant hit him with his hunting-whip.
The woman interfered on behalf of her favourite, and put
out her hand to protect him, in consequence of which, as
appeared, by a sudden change of her position her hand re-
ceived a severe blow with the heavy end of the hunting
whip, evidently intended for the dog. This blow caused
her some pain and inconvenience for some weeks, but the
surgeon stated that it had caused no permanent injury, and
was quite healed. Such were the main circumstances of the
occurrence, as detailed in evidence by the plaintiff and his
wife, supported, it may be said, in a certain sense by their
dog, who literally "appeared in the witness-box" with
them, and although he was not examined, yet to some ex-

tent gave evidence in their favour, for he was an honest-
looking animal, whose obvious affection for his master and
mistress, combined with the statement of the hard blows
ho had sustained on their behalf, told greatly against
the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice and the jury had
him out on the floor of the court, and loolc, l at hint with
evident interest and amusement, and there could be no
doubt in the minds of any one in the court that the dog's
presence and the remembrance of the heavy blows he had
endured went to swell the damages.
The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up the case to the
jury, said it was much to be regretted the occurrence took
place, and undoubtedly in the first instance the plaintiff
had the law on his side ; but then, on the other hand, he
had certainly gone somewhat beyond the law, and had by
his own conduct given provocation which had tended to
aggravate the matter. He had a right to remonstrate
against the irruption of the hunters into his fields, and if
they persisted he would have a right to take proper mea-
sures for legal redress. But instead of that he had seized
hold of one of the hunters, and sought to detain him as he
was going off the land. He would have a right to resist
his coming on the land, but when he was on it and going
off he had no right to take hold of him and arrest him as
if he had committed a felonious act or some wilful injury
which would justify his apprehension as a criminal offen-
der. There could be no doubt that his taking hold of Mr.
Gurney's horse and hanging on to it so persistently was
the immediate cause of the unfortunate occurrence. Ho
might if he so pleased object to hunting. Generally speak-
ing, the farmers were the keenest followers of the hounds,
and therefore they good-humouredly bore with their share
of any damage caused to their fields by hunting, but a man
had a right to object to it, and, if ho did so, then no doubt

The Lord Chiof Justice—He would have had a right to

he had no right to seize and forcibly detain any of them.
The Juryman—Not to ascertain his name and address ?
The Lord Chief Justice—No; there were other moans of
ascertaining the address of any of thorn, and as I have
already said, some of them were known to him, and the
others could have been discovered. There is no right to
arrest a man merely for a trespass.

The jury having briefly consulted together, gave a ver-
dict for the plaintiff for £5O.

BISHOP COLENSO'S SALARY.--We understand
that at a meeting of the Council for Colonial Bishoprics it
has been deei led not to appeal from the latvlecision of the
Master of the Rolls in reference to Bishop Colenso's salary,
but that the trustees will be content to make the payment
under legal compulsion. In view of the fact that there are
two decisions of a totally opposite tendency on this clues-

tion, some surprise will naturally arise that further steps
are not taken. Wo bulieve,
