Table d'/iote, y. 6d. for Coach. 



* When calling at Messrs. Shanks' coach-building establishment 

 in Great Queen Street, I was shown an admirably-built four-horse 

 coach, intended as a present for Fownes by several gentlemen who 

 had either driven the Bentley coach, or who had known him in past 

 times. The gift consisted of the coach and a set of four-horse 

 harness, a remarkably handsome present, as the coach could not 

 have cost less than three hundred guineas, and the harness would no 

 doubt cost another sixty. The body of the coach is a dark colour, 

 the wheels and under-carriage being yellow. The name of the coach, 

 which is called the " Defiance," and the owner's name are both 

 painted on it in the usual manner. As for the coach, it was quite 

 r eady, like the highwaymen of whom I have written, to take to the road.
