At Rawcliffe, near Smith, the eccentric indivithisl, James Hint,
at the advanced age of 91. He was by trade a tanner, and finding
that his business much interfered with his odd ways, he freed him-
self from its trammels, devoting himself entirely to his whimsical
and eccentric propensities. One of the first things he did when
disengaged from business, was to purchase for himself a coffin,
which he made a practice of exhibiting for any small remuneration,
and in this coffin was deposited his fund. His habitation was one
of the most curious places in Yorkshire, the rooms being hung
round with agricultural implements of every description, and pieces
of old iron, nails, Scc. in a rusty state. The inmates consisted of
himself and a man and woman servant, to which he added a tame
fox, an otter, and a bull. The carriage in which he appeased at
• Doncaster races was of his own workmanship, and was generally
drawn by asses or dogs. He was on the ground on Thursday in
the last race week, distributing apples to those whose attention be
had excited ; and his eccentric appearance during his annual visits
fora long series of years will be in the recollection of thousands.
Its his shooting excursions he rode a bull, attended by pigs and
dogs, the former trained to scent, the latter to carry the game. He
set the greatest value upon a waistcoat which he had formed from
the front part of the drake's neck, and to obtain which he had so-
licited the surrounding villages. He bad three bulls which were
kept for the sole purpose of baiting ;t country feasts, after which
his man generally collected from the populace. He bad notes en-
graved at Hull, and printed on a paper similar to the Bank of
England notes; they were embellished with representations of
'himself in his curious carriage, and in his shooting habiliments,
also mounted on a bull, attended by his pigs and dogs ; and wore
couched in the following language :—" Bank of Rawchffe--No.
