A _consultation_ afterwards took place respecting the fate of these poor
tremblers, when it was humanely determined that they should be taken in
a basket to some distance, and liberated, which was accordingly done.
A keen sportsman would not approve of this forbearance; but perhaps none
of the doctors had taken out a license to kill--GAME.

"A male and female hare were put together by lord Ribblesdale for one
year, when the offspring amounted to sixty-eight. A pair of rabbits
inclosed for the same time produced above three hundred. The value of
rabbits' wool used annually in the manufacture of hats in England is two

"A few days ago a hare was observed lying before a door in
Manchester-street, London. The poor animal was immediately pursued, and
in less than a minute the street was crowded: she succeeded in making
her way down through Duke-street, followed by an immense mob. The

was bagged for a future chase. Nobody can tell where the chase
commenced, but the dog is known to belong to a shepherd at Meppershall,
