has rented the Horton Fishery, between Colnbrook and

tions have been antagonistic to successful fishing. It

water, which is about a mile and a half in length, will yield 
good sport. From Horton, Messrs. Goldsworthy and 
Hawkins had several pounds of dace; while at Hert¬ 
ford, on Wednesday, the former member had, among

accounts was given, the question of an outing was 
mooted, but it was postponed till quarterly night,
