Byron’s Carriage a Henroost.

The discovery of a carriage which belonged to Byron in the stable yard of a South Australian bush inn will set relic hunters agog/ The pedigree of the vehicle is undisputed. I* was a gift from the poet to Lady Charlotte Bacon when she emigrated. It has bis motto and coat, of Arms on the panel. And, remarks the Glasgow Herald, Hamlet's trite observation upon the vicissitudes of men and things is once again -given point by the tact that the carriage has been used as a fowl roost: ■ Imperious Byron, wearer of the bays. To Lady ’Charlotte Bacon gave his chaise; Oh, that this vehicle, above all men's. Should prove a roost for South Australian hens. When a mean, useless, troublesome man is kicked, he always says there is nothing against him except that he Stands for the Right. The trouble with scaring a man into being good is that it takes so much time to keep the thrills going.
