FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,—The character of Sir PAUL
'BAGUOTT is so well known in his own neighbour-
hood, that I should hold in perfect contempt
any production of his pen bat had been confined
to this or any adjoining County. But as I find
that the occurrence which rook place here on
the 26th Of December has found its way into
your cohthans, I wish through the same channel
simply to state, that some wires having been set
by a poacher in a plantation at the boundary of
my Park, two of my labourers, who had for
three successive days and nightS been watching
for the offender, did on the fourth morning ap-
prehend a person calling himself Sir PAur, BAG,
II OTT, in the act of taking a hare out of one of
those wires, and bring him down to my house. It
'is not every man, sir, who had been induced by
mere curiosity, or prompted by less worthy 'mo-
fives, to commit an act that had led to the apprehen-
sion of his person as a common poacher, who would
himsOf have been the circulator of his own impru.
deuce; but as Sir P.tur.BAcnorr, far -from being
anxious to suppress the publication of his own
folly, himself stands forward to record it, he should
not. only have spoken to truth (which I admit
him to have done in the first part of his letier,)
but the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Had he spoken the whole truth, he would have
added, that he threatened to bent the person at-
tempting to apprehend him ; and had he spoken
nothing but the truth, he would not have asserted
that. I repeatedly refused to take his word,
knowing as be did, that I not only did not keep
him in custody one moment, but myself prevailed
upon Mr. TAYLOR (who happened to be here) to
convey him to the Inn, to enable him to pursue
his journey.—l will only further add, Sir, that I
shall not deem worthy my attention any thing
that may hereafter proceed from the pen (or the
spleen) of Sir PAUL BAGHOTT.—Lam,

Your obedient Servant,
Dodington, Jan. 24, 1821. C. BET HELL CODit.lNal ON.

Mr. GASELEE—Yeg, niy Lord.—This was a rule for a qito
warranfo against the Bailiff of Petersfield, which stood over
till one against the Mayor was determined. The Mayor has
since disclaimed, after pleading to the information, and ft
New Mayor was elected last Monday week. There has been
the same vice attaching to his Election as to that of his pre-
decessor ; and I am instructed, as sows es I shall be fur•ni•hrd

New Mayor.
Lord C. J. nao•rr—Let this stand over then.

Early in the day this th fentlaut was .brought up to plead to
ce►lain fresh informations 61et1 against her: 'she requested
copies of the informations, and time (t►ll Friday) to plead.

A duel was fought early yesterday morning,
on llounslyw Heath, between Major D—N and
Mr. M—n—N, a gentleman of fortune, in conse-
quence of a dispute at a room in Bond-street, on
the preceding day. _lnformation was given to
the Police, but not until after the mischief was
done. The Major was badly :,,ounded in the
shoulder, but we understand the ball was
extracted upon the ground, and the Major came
to London.

Lieutenant OWEN started on Tuesday. from
Piccadilly, to walk fifty miles ,-a day in twelve
hours, for twelve successive days, for a wager of
two hundred guineas. Betting is two to one
against him. Reading, Berks, was his first day's
ground.
At an early hour yesterday morning, upwards
of thirty men and women were taken in coffee-
shops in Shire-lane, and other places, in pursu-
ance of a warrant from the' Magistrates at BoW-
street. Some of them were held to bail, and
others were discharged upon their own recog-
nizance.
