he felt happy to find that during the four years he had
been master of the hounds his conduct had met with their
approbation. (Continued applause.) And so long as he
c,,ntinued to keep the hounds he should be happy to see
his friends from both sides of the Mersey attending the
hunt. (Cheers.) Any expense, any trouble he might

landed proprietors of the hundred of Wirral. (Loud
cheers.) To those gentlemen, they in commou with him-
self owed a deep debt of gratitude. (Continued cheers.)
It was impossible to name one who more than another
contributed to their gratification i❑ this respect. The
worthy baronet then went on to compliment Mr. E.
Parry, Mr. Feilden, of Mollirgton, a friend at Barton,
Mr. Mainwaring and Mr. Green, of Poulton, .Isir. Ash-
ton, of Garton, Mr. Shaw, of Arrow Hall, Mr. J. S.

him for the manner in which he had proposed his (Sir

William's) health, and he assured him that the (by was
far distant when he should forget the gratifying proceed-

The CHAIRMAN said, before he proceeied to return
thanks for the handsome manner in which they had drank
his health, he begged to explain how he came to be placed

in the position he was—a situation which he 00 not teel
himself entitled to fill. An excellent friend of his, a
,true sportsman, Colonel Glegg, had promised to preside
over them, but a severe and unexpected attack of indis-

prove of long duration, had prevented him. (Hear, hear.)
No one regretted the absence of the gallant colonel more
than he (the Chairman,) for he felt he had not sufficient

standing to give that cifect to a meeting like the_present,
that it ought to hare. After thanking the company for the
