WIXDSOR, filmiest 30.—0 n Thursday, the early part of the
morning the weather was unfavourable for co...r•iog, when Lord
Rivers, with IS couple of fine Greyhourc!s, ent,•red the little
lark. The Prince of Hesse Homberg, and a great number of
spectators, were assembled to see she sports. The coursing was
very good, and there were some fine runs. The Prince appeartd
highly gratified with the sport. The same morning the Berkeley
fox-hounds tl:rew off in Windsor G.-eat Park, where they soon
found a fine large fox, near Virginia Waters, which shewed great
sport ; he made several turns in the Park, but soon went out,
and took to the left across the Math to Trump'► Mili, and then
to the nght across the Heath towards B.gshot Park, whelks they '
lost him.

Oa Friday morning a fine deer was turned nut near Stfi 11111,i
and took first across the commons and enclosures towards the
Uxbridge Road, which he crossed, and ran with great swiftness
towards Watford, in Hertfordshire, where he was taken in a
mill-poad, after an excellent day's chace. The same morning Lord
Rivers, attended by a number of Gentlemen, took the diversion
of coursing in the Little Park
.; they had great sport ; the hares
are very plentiful.
In one of the matches run at the Spring Meeting of the Turriff
Coursing Club, Speed, a greyhound belonging to :kir. Gordon,
of Nethermuir, took a most extraordinary leap over a hedge, six
feet high, with a double ditch; when the distance was mea-
' sured, it was found that at this leap the dog had cleared an ex-
tent of not less than 23 feet, after which he continued the course
with unabated vigour, and won his match.

DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF HENLEY V. MATTrIEW WOOD,

ESQ. LATE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.

This important cause came on to be tried at Laun-
ceston Assizes, before a Speck.' Jury, on Thursday
last, when Mr. Justice ABBOTT stated, that the very
learned Judge, Mr. Justice HOLROYD, who tried the
cause last year, entertained a strong opinion that the
instrument, upon which the ejectment had been
brought, would not support the action, and expressed
his wish that the facts should thererore be put in the
record, in the shape of a special 'verdict, in order
that that question-might first undergo the consider-
ation of the Court, and be ultimately brought for
its final determination before the House of Lords, if
either party should think fit. Same little evidence
was, however, given on the part of the defendant,
from which it appeared, that the defendant had
never been in possession of any of the workings of
Henley, the father of the plaintiff ; that Henley had
deserted the excavations which he had made some
months before his death, and declared his intention
of not returning to them, as no ore was to he found,
and that nothing was done there for fourteen or fif-
teen months afterwards ; at the end of which time,
the lord of the soil, with a view to take advantage
of the forfeiture which had been incurred by Henley,'
granted a license to Mr. Joshua Rowe, from whom
the defendant derives his title, to work as a new ad-
venturer, distinct from the old grant, and put Mr. 11
Rowe into possession.—The only question left for the,
Jury was, with reference to two other mines, which
the plaintiff sought to recover by this action, as to
which they immediately found for the defendant.
