in the Strand, became suspicions of them, and got one

The folkoxing is a curious order of Duke Adios,
of Bri;nswiek. isatogi in 11183. by whieh his vassals
were iorbiddeli to r;de in earriaris:—

" we know from ancient historians, froarthe an-
nals of heruie, lionoarable, and glorious achievements,
and 4.ten by our own experience, that the respectable,
at, ally, couragroua, and spiritetcliermans, acre here-
tofore so lunch celebrated among all nations, on ac-
cone of their manic vlrtue, sincerity, lucidness, honesty,
and resolution, tllat theirassietance was courted in war,
and ;hat, in particular, the people of this land. by their
discipline and intrepidity, both within and n 'throne the
kingdom, sequireh at mulch celebrity, that foreign na-
tions readily united with them : we Bare, for some time
put, found, %till, great pain and uneasiness, that their
useful discipline, and skill in riding, in out electorate,
county, and lordship, have not only visibly declined,
but have been almost lost (and, no doubt, other elec-
tors and princes have experienced the same among their
nobility); sad u the principal cause of this is, that our
vassals, servants, and kinsmen, without distinction,
young and old, have dared to give themselves up to in-
dolent-4., and to riding in coaches, and that a few of them
provide themselves with well-equipped riding-horses,
and with skilful experienced servants, aetplainted with
the roads ; out being able to suffer, any longer, this ne-
glect, and being desirous to revive the anrient Bruns-
wie!c 1114%11e of riding, handed down amid bequeathed to
us by our forefathers, we hereby will and command, that
all and each of our before-mentioned vassals, servant!,
and kinsmen, of whatever rank or condition, shall al-
trays keep in readiness as many riding-horses as they
are oldiged to serve us with by their 'trim. alliance ;
and shall hart' in their service able enperieneed ser-
vants, acquainted with the roads; and that they shall
have as mane horses as possible, with polishea steel
furniture, mid with saddles proper for carrying the tie-
pins:4 arms and accoutrements, so that they may appear
with them when necessity requires. We also will and
command our before-mensioned vassals and servants to
take notice, that when we order them to assemble, either
all together, orin part, in times of tnrbnienee, or to re-
ceive their fiefs, or when on other occasions they visit
our Court, they shall not travel or appear is coaches,
but on their riding-horses, Ste."
