THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH'S HOUNDS.
The hunting season in the neighbourhood of Kelso has bad a most
brilliant commencement, and there has not been a blank day. On
bas been admirable, particularly on

different occasions the sport . -
Thursday last, when there was as " hard a day's work" as ever
was tun by the followers of the chase in Scotland. The hounds met
at Kelso Bridge, and proceeded to Haddon-rigs, where they found
directly, and went off at a rattling pace down to Cerium, on the
English border, thence back to Caverton-Edge, through Bowmont
Forest, and down to the covert at Kail Water Foot, where Reynard
took to earth, and was lost; a remarkably fast run without a check.
Kail Water Foot was next tried without success; but on reaching
Woodenhill, at a short distance, the hounds again found di.
redly, and as gallant a fox as ever broke covert led the way up
Oxfam Water to Ulston Muir, across Jed Water to Boojedward,
where they found a fresh fox end split ; but having been got to-
gether again on the old scent, away they went at full cry, crossed
the Teviot near to Minto, passed Minus Church, and then right
up to the top of Greenhill, where, as it was getting dark, the hunts-
man togged off the pack. Of the numerous field of sportsmen
many were left in different quarters, fairly done up, and only the
Duke of Buccleuch, Sir David Baird, Williamson the hunuman,
and a groom of Lord Elcho's were up with the hounds. Among
the distinguished sportsmen already at the Crow Keys Hotel, Kelso,
are the Marquis of Tweeddale, Lord Skis, Sir David Baird, Mr.
Campbell, of Saddel, Mr. Fletcher of Saltoun, Adam Hay, Esq.
111. P: Captain Jeffrey, Sic. and many others are expected soon to
join in the exhilarating sport. There is also a good turn out of
gentlemen residing in the district, and the gaiety of the scene, on
hunting days, together with the cash spent, have enlivened in no
small degree our neighbourhood, in most other respects, it mute be
sorrowfully owned, dull enough.—Kelso Mail.
GREAT STEEPLE CHACE.
The second grand match between Captain Ross and Mr. Os.
baldeston came off on Saturday last, in Northamptonshire, but at
the same time that it proved highly attractive, fell infinitely short
of the first in every respect. The Meltoniana were hit so hard in
the former affair, that the betting was comparatively light ; so that,
although the odds were on Mr. Osbaldeston, the Pychley gentle-
men could not get on their favourite to one-half the sum depending
on the match between Clasher and Clinker.
The terms of the engagement were these :—Capt. Ross to ride
15st. 71b. on Polecat, Mr. Osbaldeston 12st. on Pilot ' • the distance
four miles : Mr. Osbaldeston staking 500 sows. to 200 toys. The
two horses met last year in Leicestershire in a steeple match, the
weights being equal, and Pilot winning in a common canter. The
route on Saturday last was from the Blue Cover, across Harrington
Field, by Louthiand Wood, to the Armytage, adjoining Leicester-
shire. At half-past ten, upwards of 800 fashionable' were at the
starting point, and immediately after the parties went off at a
slapping pace, Pilot leading throughout, and winning very easy, in
fact, Polecat never had the slightest chance in any part of the
race. There was some good leaping ; but the Captain's mare re-
-fused a brook at the bottom of Harrington, and ran through it, and
from this spot Mr. Osbaldeston completely left him. The four
miles were run in about fourteen minutes. The affair altogether
was a sad disappointment, particularly to those who witnessed the
brilliant thing on the .Woodsy previous.
Mr. Osbaldestm's riding was admirable; and, if his age be con-
sidered, is au extraordinary instance of game and fine jockey hip;
indeed, at fox-hunting, pigeon 'hooting, rowing, cricketiog, cock-
ing, or any other sport requiring skill, strength, or intrepidity, Mr.
Osbaldeston is decidedly the best spottsman in the kingdom. lm.
mediately en the termination of the match a fox was found, which
took the turnpike road for about four miles, affording an interesting
and animated sight to the spectators, amongst whom were several
ladle's of rank.

ALARMING FlRE.—Wednesday night, about halt-
ing nine o'clock, the size-home of two industrhass men. named
Alanworth and Cowell, situated at the lower end of King-street, in
this town, was discovered to be on lire by the man attending the
stoves. He was going round the building from one fire to another,
when be saw a reflection on t►e ground as if from fire, and on look.
ing up discovered that the flames were issuing from the roof. The
man instantly gave the alarm, and hundreds were immediately on the
spor. but all efforts to save either the building or its contents were
unavailing the warps that were hung up within the size•bouse
burned with terrible fury ; and such was the force of the devouring
element, that in less than half an hour the roof and the interior of the
building were reduced to a mass of rubbish. The size-house stands
upon an eminence, and when the flames got egress from the roof the
fire had a singular effect upon the surrounding country, all being il-
luminated for miles round with a dim glimmering light. The fire-
bell was rung furiously soon after the discovery, and we should sup-
pose that not less than five thousand people were assembled round
the building and in the streets. The effect of the light emitted by
the flames on the countenances of the dense mass was beautifully
picturesque, and far beyond the power of words to describe. So
much b.s been said respecting the non-arrival of the fire-engines
until the fire was nearly extinguished that it seems necessary to
allude to it here. It has been stated that there ate no men appointed
to manage the engines, and thus an attempt has been made to throw
blame upon the police-trustees, but such is not the fact. Men are
appointed by each manufacturer according to the number of hands
he employs. and these men are much more efficient than the old
firemen. Immediately on hearing the tire-bell, several of the men
repaired to the engines, and were on their way to the fire with all
possible speed. but were stopped by some gentlemen, who told them
that the engines were of no service, and, consequently, they turned
back with them. This was certainly a great error on the part of the
men, and one which, we hope, they will not again commit. It
was thought by Mr. Graham, the acive Agent of the Yorkshire In-
surance Office, that the engines would be of service, and. on his
arrivel at the fire, he despatched men for them, but they did not
arrive until the Interior ot the building was destroyed. Great praise
is due to Lieut.-CoL Wolohan...and the other ulcers of the se h
regiment, for the prompt manner in which they called out flie.r
men to assist in subduing tbm fire and to protect the property ; iso
kind, indeed. were they that Mr. Greham h thought .t necessary
to thank them publicly for.tbeir services. Ike building and 14 con-
tents were insured in the Yorkshire insurance-offise to the *Mount
of 44'490; hut the d►mage austatiied will not, iris thought, be Loa c
than 4110. It cannot be satieuetorly ucertaitted how the he
Militated, as nu person *.a in the premise.—acteiburaw Gamete.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
CR-CHA N CZ IJE7Mr;IFOU RT. Dm. 7.
CASOOSILNERSTON AND DUNSTAN V. FORD.
This was an application to dissolve an injunction that had been
obtained against the defendant, restraining him from making ships'
cabooees, or hearths. similar to those made by the plaintiffs, who
were the patentees of the invention.
Mr. Parrs and Mr. Rouen were heard in support of the nsolon.
Mr. Kunnas; for the plaintiffs, said that the plaintiffs had ob-
tained this patent in liivif,and had undisputed possession of it ever
since, till the defendant invaded it in the present year ; and, there-
fore, he was at least entitled to claim the continuance of the in-
jfinCtion till a new trial at law could be had to decide upon its vali-
dity. for so Lord &sou had always held in these cases. ,
Mr. Plower also supported the injunction.
The Vsca-Cnancsmoa said, that when the injunction was air
plied for, it was represented as an invention for a method of per-
forming the operation of cooking, distilling, and ventilating, on
ship-board, by one apparatus; whereas,it now turned out to be for
a method of performing these operations by one fire ; and the Court
had not been fairly dealt with. The whole cue ought to have
been brought forward at first. He thought that the bill must be
retained, but that the injunction must be dissolved, and the plain-
tiffs be left to their action at law; nor did he think that he ought
to impose the keeping an account on the defendant.
COURT OF XING'S BF.NCH, Dec. 7.
Sittings at NW Piles in London—before Mr. Justice Bayley and
Common Juries.

PIZTHAM V. ZLOZIDGS. •
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney. to re-
cover ..C6 101. from the defendant, a bone-dealer, residing at Stoke
Newington. The plaintiff had purchased a mare of the defendant,
which be had warranted to go quiet in single and double hones'.
It afterwards turned out that the mare was restive in single har-
ness, and the plaintiff sold it by auction, and brought this action to
recover the difference.
Two witnesses were called who deposed to the warranty having
been given to the plaintiff, and other witnesses deposed to themes
being restive in single harness.
James Eldridge, son of the defendant, stated that be received
the money for the mare; had frequently driven her in single har-
ness before the sale, but had never found her at all restive—her
month was particularly tender, so much so, that a judge of horses
would find it out immediately—she was the steadiest mare he had
ever sat behind. _ _

is a very free mare—never used her In a
fly—she was too good, much too good for that—she was very fast.
and it would not do to put a fast horse In a fly, because a fly was
let by the hour.—Great laughter.
Re-examined—Several persons had driven her besides himself—
his lawyer for one--a most respectable grocer. living at Stoke New-
ington, had also driven her—this grocer was a relation of bis, and
was a highly respectable grocer too.—( Much laughter.)
Witnesses were then called with a view to prove that the De-
fendant had frequently driven the mare in single harness, and that
she at those periods was not at all restive. It was also attempted
to be shown that the cause of her restiveness wa► that a strong
curb had been used, to which she was not accustomed.
Mr. Justice Rev Lev summed up the evidence, and left it to the
Jury to say whether t►ere was a warranty for the mare to go quiet
in single and double harness ; if they were of opinion that there
way a warranty, then they must consider whether the mare was
quiet in single harneu, and if they were of opinion that she was
restive, they must give the Plaintiff the benefit of their verdict ;
but if, on the other ►and, they thought there was not a warranty,
and that the mare was quiet in single harness, then they must
retain a verdict for the Defendant.
Verdict for the Defendant.

11110CUSAILIIIS TOL ♦ 11111111•141.1CIDOLIT V. HOLT.
This action was brought by a young woman to recover £l4 for
wages earned in the service of the defendant, previous to her ea
verture. The wife of the plaintiff, formerly Anne Fairweather,
hired herself as housekeeper to the defendant, at Atte a-year. She
was between eighteen and nineteen at the time, and having re-
mained fourteen months in his service, bad earned the money which
this action was brought to recover.
The defence was founded upon a counter-demand for six pair of
shoes, a black silk dress, a reticule, and other articles, which the de-
fendant supplied during her servitude.
Mr. Justice BATLZY said it was remarkable that a young woman
under age should be allowed by her master to wear articles so unfit
for her condition in life.
Mr. Baouanare said she was hired as a housekeeper.
Mr. Justice B♦TLsr—Are these necessaries for an infant?

Mr. Baouousst.—No.
Mr. Justice Bsttrr.—See to what this leads :—you allow an in-
fant servant girl to drees in an improper way. The law will not
allow you to make an infant pay for things not necessaries. She
was to bays 112 a-year, and standing as the defendant did in the
place of a parent, he could not say that black silk gowns and reti-
cules were necessaries. The receipt of 14 is admitted, and If you
take your verdict for £lO it may be right.
Counsel on both sides consented to a verdict for that amount, and
the Jury accordingly gave the Plaintiff £lO.
