The hounds and hunters of this Sportsman were sold 

 by Mr. Tattersall, at Brixworth, in August, 1833. — 

 There were 28 couples of well-bred fox-hounds, with 13^ 

 couples of young dogs. With the exception of five couples 

 which were purchased by Mr. Foljambe, for 105 guineas, 

 the whole were knocked down in five lots, to the Hon, Mr.

Sir Hariy James Goodricke, Bart, of Ribstone Hall, Yorkshire, 

 died at Ravensdale Park, Ireland, on the 21st of August, 1833, in the 

 36th year of his age. He was passionately fond of the sports of the 

 field, and his stud at Melton Mowbray, iisually aA'eraged between 50 

 and 60 of the finest hunters ; and his hunting-box, at Melton, was 

 the constant scene of profuse hospitality during the season. He was 

 one of the most spirited foxhunters of the day, and the Master of the 

 Quorn Hounds for the last three or four seasons. He was a thorough 

 Sportsman, in the fullest sense of the word, and literally fell a sacri- 

 fice to a favorite amusement, otter-hunting, in the indulgence of xvhich 

 he caught a severe cold, and was carried off in 48 hours. Sir Harry 

 died unmarried ; he was immensely rich, and will be greatly missed at 

 Melton Mowbray. The subscription to the Quorn Hounds has varied 

 from two to .£4000 per annum, but Sir Harry Goodricke, when pro- 

 prietor, bore the M'hole expense of them himself.
