pose of purchasing an annuity for the benefit of the
poor inhabitants. When the case was last before the
Court, a referesee had been made to the Master,
for the purpose of inquiring whether the propositions
wished to be niaile by the gentlemen entrusted with
the distribution of the looney, arising from the fund
in question, would be beneficial to those entitled? The
Raoul aliment of the proceeds was 1011., sad had been
given to a number of persons at a few shillings at a

this the Master did not think would be the most pro-
per. It ems then winked to obtain a power to give the
money in larger sums than forte shillings to each

BCFFAIA) HUNT IN LONDON.

I,
Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, three ,
buffaloes, consisting of a grown bull anal two calves, ,
one of them about the size of a smell donkey, and the : i
other of a sheep, arrived at the Menagerie in Easter I
Thanze, in the Strand. They. were driven up the I'
Straml by a keeper, moved on qinetly, end appeared as i '
tame as any of our domestic cattle. On their vulva! le II
front of the lerarerie, a great crowd of people was i I
collected by cariosity to see 'them, and iituno•d them- ,
selves with shouting and other noises while the keepers
were preparing to take them up into the Menagerie.
The hull, frightened by the strange noise and clamour,
started away, followed by the two young buffaloes and
the crowd collected on the spot. He ran down the
Strand, rooted the equestrian statue at Charin.,-cross, i
and up again as tar as tionthampton-street, then
down again to Charing-eroas, and up again as far
as the Adelphi 'lli/etre. tie then turned down
Adam-street, along the Adelphi. and to the bottom

lemion was stopped by the iron pallisade. Foremost I

quainted with the outrage, he with entnntendahle slat
