Ac York, Mrs. Marfli, relift of the Rev. 

 Philemon M. 



Matihew Hotfley, the celebrated farming 

 foxiiunter of the Eaft-Riding, at the ad- 

 vanced age of nearly 90. If ever a man 

 loved hunting " with all his foul and all his 

 ftrength," and died game at the laft, Matt. 

 Horfley was that hunter. On a fiTiall farm 

 he contrived, from time to time, to bring in- 

 to the field, to fhow off there, and to fell 

 afterwards at good prices, as many good 

 horfes as ever perhaps belonged to one per- 

 fon ; for in the courfe of nearly a century, 

 he had hunted with three generations. But 

 this was not all his praife. He had a natu- 

 ral vein of humour and facetioufnefs, which 

 the quaintnefs of a ftrong Yorkfliire dialeft 

 heightened ftill more; and when fome greater 

 men, who were his neighbours, wilhed to 

 trample him down, he not unfrequently con- 

 trived to put afide the effcfls of ill-humour 

 by good humour of his own.
