ABSTRACT
A gentleman of Hampshire, who was in the habit of being robbed almost every night by poachers, adopted a novel and effectual mode of putting an end to this depredation. He went to London, purchased a man’s leg at a hospital, and on his return had it hung up near the next place of public meeting, with a label attached to it, stating it had been caught on his grounds, and requesting the right owner would send for it. This had such an effect that he has not since been robbed.
