London, . . . Nov. 7. Thursday night last the famous
Buckhorse so well known for upwards of 40 years last past to
the mobility and gentry at Newmarket, and other 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 playhouse. This famous hero of the
bruising stage, in his youth, used to divert the company
before the champion mounted, with boxing any one that chose
to attack him, in order to pass away the time. . .
