Mr. Ittpctrres proposed "Th. health of the ovum's
and osenpiers of coverts within the urea of his hunt". It
was well known that if the Lime owners and oomMen
of coverts did not preserve fox**, the occupiers of
snail ones had but very little shams. But whether
the large owners did or did not, there were a few small
ciesupiere in this county who did their utmost to
preserve foxes for him. He mei:aimed pas tionlarly
Mr. H. Tooker, Mr. Logrant, Mr. Burgess, end Mr.
Henry Mayo.

Mr. H. iootiee replied. He was satisfied, however,
that without the large °overt, those in a 5131/111 way
would not be able to de so much as they did. He spoke
of the sport they bad had daring the seams, sad bore
testimony to the civility sad obliging disposition of
Jim Yeas& the huntsman, who is leaving. In 000•
elusion be proposed "The health of Mr. Brymer," and
made alleges to event. whim occurred some years ago.
Mr. B expressed his regret that the allusion
&mild have been made, and asked to be allowed to
explain. Be believed be had known Mr. Radclyffe an
lose as anybody in this room—be was at school with
him, and in the army with him, and there was no person
be loved and respeeted more, and they had always been
oft the best of terms. When he pereheeed the property
here, be did e• principally— and said so at the time—
beesum there are no long chimers in the neighbour-
hood, and it is the most sporting county in England.
He decided to preserve foxes, and did so, and he 'muted
them now, if they were the last words he had to speak,
' that there never had been • fox killed by him or by his
orders, but, on the contrary he gave strict orders for
foxes to be preserved, until he was grossly insulted
there, by bearing said' It's no nee drawing his coverts,
the son of • for he kills every lot.' At
that time not a fox had been killed there, but he told
Mr. Badelyffe he could not stand that, and ordered
traps to be set,aed, In three weeks, from Easier SuodlW,
they killed thirty-two foxes !aid when the bouMs
were there he had nine foxes Is the kennels alive I That
showed the foxes bad been preserved. If it had not
been alluded to, be should not have said anything about
It. Now it was all past and goo*, and there was no
person wished heeler to fothenting than he did—(hear,
hem). He it'd done everything in his power to promote
it. Since that thee be bad never sanctioned the death
of a single fox, sad never shoed again—(applases). He
believed that at the present tecieneet there were • more
of foxes within three miles of Yellowham wood,
and that Mr. Ouse would bear liim out in that opinion
—(bear, hear). But he attributed ill-luck there to
the nature of the soil. In conelesioe he assured them
be would do all be wield to promote the sport—

said the difference arose out of a mistake. The
expression he felt Insulted by was not directed against
him, but against hie keeper, who was known to have
killed foxes in his farmer castploymeni, sod was
suspected of comitinning it after Mr. Bryseer bad
purchased the property. He then spoke In the warmest
terms of the mire of Laegton.
