Sroarnta.—A more stratified and fpirited
()lent of Sporting has been rarely ethibited than
that praelifei the laft two weeks On the %Voids,
Falconeeb I 1.111.

Colonel 'Fitment-oil having cdridnned in Way
his whole Sporting apparatus to Falconer's Hall,
na Friday fennigla, a (tag wits turned out for the
entertainment of a large alfemblage of Gentlemen,
Farmers, and others, near the hook. After run.
fling a circuit of neatly eight miles, he was taken
in a plantation of Major TOFHAM'S at Grainge,
and, from the (eves ity of the run, died fhortly af-
terwards.

On Saturday, the Colonel gave Harc Hunting,
with a beautiful pack of d warfbeagles,and Courfing.
On Monday a Public Breaktalt was given by
the Colonel at his houfe, during which about
two hundred horfemen had affembled. Another
St.ig, of larger fax than the former, was turned
nut, and attrr a Inca revere run of lizteen miles
over the High %Voids, was taken at Langtoft.—
In the whole run there was only one check. A
more beautiful rim was certainly never f cen. The
echo of the Huntrman's born among the rallies
had a fine elle&

On Tuefday, after another Public Breakfaff,
fame Courting and Hare Hunting took place.—
The field was a very large one, and the burlt was
fo revere, that fume of the belt bred Racers died
in confequence.
On Wediefday, after Come private Courting. the
Stag, which had before afforded (uch amufement,
was turned out before a field of nearly three hen-
dered horfemen. After running about a mile,
followed by one Rag hound, he returned in the
face of the whole company drawn up beim e the
houfe, as if to (hew his gallantry; and taking two
beautiful leaps over the cordage that encircles the
houfe, and a (piked gate, went of in a molt impe-
rial flyle over the High Wolds for about ten miles,
followed by the whole pack, then ran down into
the low grounds for About eight miles more, where
he was at laft taken in a drain. The immense
spread of hoifemen over the hills and valleys, the
found of the horn echoing amongft the mountains,
the cry of the dogs, and the beauty of the fcencry,
formed a very fine Ipedaele.
A Wolf had been procured from Egypt;—but
the Farmers having entertained an idea, that if he
had efcaped, the numerous flocks of fheep mull ful-
ler, it was refolved that he fhouldnot beturned out.
The finch hoifes ever teen were brought to
try their powers. Colonel Tnoanrow produced
twelve or fourteen, fix of which were got by Jupi•
ter, and were allowed to be matchlefi for (peed,
bone and temper.
The belt Greyhounds were two blue whelps, the

COURT OF ICING's BENCH, FEB. Is.

This anion, according to Mr. r.RSICINE, was
brought to recover 381. tBs. 6d. the amount of the
co, that was fitgained on the re-fale of a quantity
of fcammony (a drag) which was originally put..
chafed by the Defendanr, who afterwards refufed
to take it away.
It appeared in evidence, this fcammony was
fold at a public andion • that the Defendant was
declare) the higheft bidder, and though he had
been often requefted to take it away, he had ne-
ver done it. In confequence of that it was re-
fold, and the market being then over-flocked with
the commodity, the price fell, and of cootie this
lois was fultained
Mr. Glass, leading Counfel for the Defendant,
contended the Plaintiff was not entitled to recover,
on account of a variance between the contrad and
the declaration, &c. Some other points were alto
(laced. He alked his Lordfhip's perms lion to move
them next Term.
Lord Et.t.vnamouatt raid, that indulgence was
fuppofed to have been carried rather too far. He
did not chufe to do it, where he was rather againft
the objeftions. Thr Learned Counfel knew he
could not prevent him from moving, bin mug
be at the peril of colts. Verdia for the Plaintiff—
Damages 381. t Bs. 6.1
COALS.—SFDGWICK V. PALI. ISTER.
Mr. Mass Rated, this adion was brought on
the 3d Ceo. 11. C. 26. feet 13. to recover of the
Defendant, Mr. Palliger, who is a Coal Dealer, a
penalty of pl. for delivering nineteen lacks of
coals without having meafured them by the bufhel
Rated in the 13th of Queen Anne. This was one
of feveral afions that had been brought for the
purpofe of obliging Coal De2lers to conform to
the Law, and to do Juftice to their cuflomers. It
would teem that nothing but levying the pe-
nalties on them could produce that degrable ef-
feet ; and he was extremely doubtful whether they
did not gain more by violating the Law, than by
paying the feveral penalties it inflided. To di(co
ver all the frauds people in this line of bufinef'
were guilty of, was impoflible. They would laugh
at any body who (hould propofe to punifh them as of
un as they were guilty of frauds. Thefe coals were
fold by wharf meafure, and were accompanied with
a regular Coal Meter's ticket. They were fold to
a Mr. Flowers, and he thnuld prove they were put
into facks at once with }hovels, and without the
intervention of any bufhel whatever.
Mr. EASICINS, leading Counfel for the Defen-
dant, laid, he was certain he fbould Thew his di-
ent was an honeft man. Although he, in the courfe
of his profeflional duty, was oceafionally called
upon to render his aifigance to Defendants (and
he owned that very many frauds had been coin
strutted in this trade) he fhould think it difhonour.
able in the extreme to fay any thing that had the
remotell tendency to hurt the interelts of the pub.
lk ; but where innocence clearly appeared it mull
be proteßed. He fhonld call the purchafer of there
coals, who would tellify to his Lorelflaip and the
Jury be had his full meafure.
Mr. Grass very candidly admitted, that he bad
not the leaß ground to foppore the purchafer had
lets than his proper quantity. What he went up-
on was, that they had not been meafured with the
proper bufhel, in obedience to the Aft of Parlia-
ment of Queen Anne.
Mr-Easettes contended the babel of Q2een
Ann was not the proper bullstl, becaufe the 3d
Gen. 11. c. a 6, which enjoined that bufhel, and on
which this adion was founded, was repealed by the
7th Geo. HI. which direded that coals flronld be
meafured with the Bullet preferibed by the 16th
and 17th of Charles the fecond. Mr. ErGrine con-
tended his client was entitled to a verdift ; and
Lord EccatisoitoucK teemed rather inclined to
the fame opinion : but Mr. Glass contended he
was entitled to a verdift on the firfi coent of the
declaration; which was agreed to ; but Mr. Er-
fkine Paid he ftionld certainly let it slide by mov-
ing in arreft of judgment.
OUTTILIDOL t. LID AND OTHERS.
This was an anion brought on a Bill of Ex-
change for ngol. by the plaintiff, who are Bank-
ers in Bedfordfhire, againft the defendants, as ac-
ceptors. It appeared that a perfon of the name
of Deveral drew this Bill on the defendants for
tool. and which was accepted by them.. After he
had procured the acceptance of Meas. Reads for
tool. he interlined Sol. which made it a bill for
I col. He then went to the plaintiffs and got this
bill difcounted. It was reported that Deveral
had left the country for this and other forgeries.
When this Bill was prelenred to the acceptors for
payment, they informed the plaintiff's Agents
they had only accepted a bill for tool. and that
the other sob. had been afterwards inferted. The
defendants in this cllt aded with great honour,
becaufe they informed the plaintiffs eradly how
this cafe good, and fail that they contid.red them-
felvcs as debtors to them for tool.

Lord ELLlNsoaovcK laid, he thought the cafe
was clear upon the bill. In confequcnce of the
alteration made upon it, t was Fone, and the
plaintiffs mull have recourfe to their count in the
declaration for money had and received.
Mr. Ea Mill. on the part of the defendants. ob.
ferved, there was no evidence of any money ha
and received. And in order to entitle the plain-
tiffs to recover as for money had and received',
they mull (hew that mnn!), was adually had and
received, sea west, this was not an accommoda-
tion Bill.
Lord ELL‘NInItOUGH ()braved, that thefe Gen.
Omen, the defendants, had floated in their letter
to the plaintiff,—" We confider onrfelves as dept.'
ors to you for tool." His Lordfhip Paid, he &mild
leave that to the Jury as evidence of confideration.

all her family. She was leaving the Houfe, when
he followed her, and.faid, if the did not move on
faller he would gallop over her the had ilia

that the defendant had received any provocation.
