The First Grouse Hunt.

Grouse were probably first shot fly
ing by the Young Pretender, when he
was "in the heather" after Culloden.
During his wanderings among the
Outer Hebrides grouse were very
abundant. and he exercised his royal
prerogative by not waiting for the
twelfth of August. Next to a capacity
for drinking neat brandy which could
see their stoutest "bowlsmen" under
the table, Prince Charlie excited the
admiration of his faithful followers by
his skill with the "fesee," killing grouse
equally well ION the ground or on the
wing. The latter was a startling now
city to the Highlanders, none Of whom
could perform the feat. According to
the late Sir George Dasent, at the be-
ginning of the last century. a man used
to teach the new art Of shooting fly
ing" to the boys of Westminster
School. who in those brave days could
get snipe, wildfowl and woodcock amid
the wilds of Chelsea or Battersea.-

Home Assurance company of New
York and Amelia J. Pugh Of Bingham
ton,- N. Y. to obtain judgment of the
court clearing up all doubts and dis
putes as to the title Of certain premises
and declaring mortgage null and void
because payment of the mortgage hav-
ing been made and satisfied, and to
settle and determine the rights of the
parties in action and settling the title
of property of the plaintiff.
The, action cites that in May, 1908,
Mr.. Lucy mortgaged his property on
Garfield avenue to the Equitable As
slFanceI company and later the assur-
ance company wholly failed to pay to
the Mariners Savings bank the sum Of
$1,000 as it agreed and to remove the
mortgage held by the bank. The as
surance company also failed to pay
Bryan F. Mahan the sumo of $4,000 as
1t agreed. only paying a portion Of that
sum, the plaintiff paying the balance.
In August. 1905, a writ Of foreign at
tachment was served on the plaintiff
in the case of Sarah j. McJennett vs.
the Equitable Home Assurance COM
pany. attaching the goods and estate
OF the Equitable company to the
amount Of $1,000. Prior to the attach
ment, the plaintiff claims to have made
all payments required by him to the
Equitable company. In August, 1908,
the Equitable Home Assurance COM
pany transferred all of its title and in
terest In the mortgage to Amelia j.
Pugh. together with the note and other
evidences of Indebtedness intended to
be secured by the mortgage, without
recourse. Mrs. McJennett received a
Judgment in May. 1908, amounting to
$500 and $3.50 costs against the
Equitable company. In May, 1909, Mrs
McJennett brought an action against
Mr.. Lucy upon the judgment of the
superior court. which suit was tried
that same year. In 1911 the superior
court found the amount due from Mr.
Lucy to the Equitable Home Assur-
ance company on the mortgage to be
$4,000 and rendered judgment against
Mr.. Lucy in favor of Mrs. McJennett
for $4,000 and $49.76 costs. Mr. Lucy
paid the Judgment and discharged all
the obligations imposed on him by the
mortgage and alleges that the said
mortgage is void but still remains on
the New London land records as un-
satisfied and is a cloud upon the title.
