The Loan MAYOR discharged him, with a caution
to beware of circulating bills, when neither the drawei,
or acceptor were to be found. •,,, , '

The Scottish moors, especially those of the Duke of
GonnoN, have been very plentifully supplied• with
game, as being removed from all quick conveyance

_Those of Northumberland have afforded but
very indifferent sport to the visitors ; leave to shoot
being very liberal, the game was scarce. The moor-
fowl on the English moors have been in abundance
