SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

drimrer
trAtint.--It may afford some gratification to sports-
men who have not been out since the frost broke up,
to learn that a greater quantity of game, considering
the season of the year, was never known than there is
at present. The report of so much having been de-
stroyed by the inclemency of the weather, so far as
relates to Yorkshire, is without foundation.

;lutes and a half. Considerable bets were depending, and it'was
the general opinion that he would have performed the task, kid

nueumbled. He is one of the swiftest runners, for the distance
wtt witnessed. He lost broody a quarter of a sninote.

Tuesday last, a hearing took •place at the Court-
'House, Leeds, before a numerous Bench of Magis-
trates, on. an information lodged against Nathan
Taylor, a poor infirm old man, late a musician in the
Leeds Volunteers, and now residing in a cottage at
Swinegate, for wiring Imitation Coffee, contrary to
the statute of the 43d George 111. cap. 129., -The
circumstance's of the case, as stated to the Cotirt,
were shortly these:-In the month of November last,
an Officer of Excise, employed for the purpose, called
at Taylor's house, and asked if they sold Reformers'.
Cdree? to which his wife replied, that they had no
coffee for sale, bat they sold burnt peas He then in.
quired the price, and said that he was a shopkeeper
at Dewsbury, and should want two or three hundred
weight. This was, however, a quantity too large for
'Taylor's 'dealings, but he was told that if he would
411 again they would let him have half a stone. On
eh occasion a conversation took place, on which
Mrs. Taylor observed, that if the powder was boiled
in soft water, it'would make " good coffee In the
morning,. -about eleven o'clock, the informer came
again, and while he was preparing to pay his four
shillings for the Sib. of breakfast beverage, two other
Excise Officers entered, who seized and carried away
Taylor's whole stock in trader which consisted of one
pound of roasted peas ! is addition to the 81b. pre-
pared for this wholesale customer. The Magistrates
having heard all the cltcumstancss of the case, con-
victed the vender, but mitigated the penalty fres
£4OO to shillings I
