THE COMMON PARTEIDGE. 



181 



Lord Tweedmouth's property of Edington and Foulden 

 West Mains, where the Hon. Edward Marjoribanks, M.P., 

 with three friends, on the 21st of October 1891, bagged 

 130 brace, and on the following day, at Whiterig and 

 Prenderguest, 113^ brace. Eegarding the former won- 

 derful bag, Mr. T. W. Walker, gamekeeper at Edington, 

 writes to me : " The 260 Partridges which were killed at 

 Edington on the 21st of October last, were got solely by 

 ' driving,' and with only one set of beaters. We had a 

 high cheek wind until lunch-time, which made it difficult 

 to drive the birds up to the guns, as well as to bring 

 them to the bag. Our total score of Partridges for the 

 season (1891-92) is 1723." 



I am indebted to the correspondents whose names are 

 given below for the following records of some of the best 

 bags of Partridges which have been got in their respective 

 districts of late years.
