Muer fur sporting on property, where, before
the inexpiable speech at Salisbury, he ranged
without interruption. Nay, the "feudal" friends
of Government, not satisfied with discharging
this Gentleman from 6(.4 own manors, have
descendvd to the meanness of soliciting, and, in
some instances offering bribe: to others, to inter-
dict Mr. liusr from sporting on the lands of
his immediate neighbours. There arc, however,
men---and independent men...in Wiltshire, who
re4ent this vile attempt ; the consequence has
been, a general invitation to Mr.lluxv, in his own
neighbonrhooll, to sport over at least 7000 acres of
as fine a Sporting Country as any in England.
The famous Beckhampfon Club hare been not
a little mortified on this occasion. The Club mos.
tcrcd In great strength this year, and were
somewhat surprized at finding that the produce
of their linked efforts, as sportsmen, on the first
four days, was not quite equal to half the quan.
tity of game killed by Mr. IlusT.
It is really lamentable, that the difference of
political opinions should produce effects such as
we have stated. Mr. Cosner; these " friends;
of Government" dare not openly attack, in his
own neighbourhood; they hare turned him over to
the :kippered Pantaloon of 71 e Post, and the
heavy Harlersin of The Courier—and much
they have gained by that. Mr. HUNT they thought
might be openly, as well as secretly, darkly, and
insi lionsly assailed ; and with Aim they have had
no better success. We confidently trust and es.
pect, that the glorious example set by the cuwitita
of !Lints and Wilts, will be followed in due
seasun....anil come that season muat..-by every
county in the United Kosigdrirn.
