Je 1821, Hugh Spencer, herd of on* of
havior, was expelled from the realm, and his
property confiseated. On taking the inventory of the same, it was found that he possessed, in different parte of England, 59
manors, 28,000 sheep, 1,000 oxen and steers.
1,200 sows with their calves, 40 mares with
their colts, 160 drawing horses, 2,000 hogs,
three hundred bullocks, 80 carcasses of beef,
600 muttons in. larder, ten tane of cider,
ten thousand pounds of ready money, thirtysix sacks of wool and a library of books. In
1422 the great estates were summoned to
London. There came the Earl of Salsbury,

favor of Wilson. At the word go, (the Indians not understanding it,) Wilson got the
start of the Indians some sixty or seventy
yards, when the latter started on a ‘sure but
slow pace, soon overtook him, then distanced
him, and finally left him out of sight. Wilson
was found lying on the home stretch completely exhausted. The distance run was a

'“ Tn 1852, Uncle Charley was a Juatice of
