London, Nov. 4. Thursday night last the famous Buckhorse,
so well known for upwards of forty years last past to the
nobility and gentry at Newmarket, and other publick places
of resort, fell down dead in Covent Gardens, 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 anyone who chose to
attack him, in order to pass away the time. . . [8 lines]
