London, Nov. 7. Thursday night last the famous Buckhorse,
so well known for 40 years last past to the nobility and
gentry at Newmarket, and other public places of resort, fell
down dead in Covent Garden, where he was attending, as
usual, with his link, to call coaches for the people coming
out of the play-house. This famous hero of the bruising
stage, in his youth, used to divert the company before the
champion m[ ], with boxing any one who came to attack him,
in order to pass away time. . .
