 shire Hunt siiico the country has boon liuntod on its present footing by a 

 connnittoo, and for some time past having held the respousiblc office of 

 treasurer, 1 ain anxious, now tliat I liave ceased to be so, to give to my 

 friends a short review of how tilings have been carried on for the last six 

 seasons, and to jjut before them the present state of their finances. In doing 

 so, I have thought it would give most satisfaction if I embodied the Avhole of 

 the transactiims as managed by my predecessors in office, together with those 

 which I have had more particulai'ly to deal wi4:h. I believe my statement to 

 J)o cpiite correct, and have vouoliers for all matters of detail tied up and ready 

 for the inspection of any gentleman who may wish for further information. 



I bog now to thank all sup})ortors of tlie hounds, aiul all those who have 

 been kind enough to put an indulgent construction upon my endeavours to 

 .serve the Hunt, and to subscribe myself. 



Their obedient servant, 



Hugh Williams.

At a meeting of the subscribers to the Warwickshire Hounds, held at 

 Wellesbourne, on tlie 7th day of April, 1836, Bernard Granville, Esq., in the 

 ■chair, it was, among other things, resolved : That a committee, consisting 

 ■of Evelyn John Shirley, Esq., William Holbech, Esq., Robert John Barnard, 

 Esq.. Joseph Townsend, Esq., Hyla Holden, Esq., Bernard Granville, Esq., 

 and Bolton King, Esq., be requested to conduct the future management of 

 the Hunt, u.n*'l such time as some individual should come forward to hunt 

 the country, upon certain terms agreeable to the subscribers. 



In order to carry into effect the wishes of the said meeting, the 

 committee did from time to time moot together, and after fully investigating 

 the resources of the Hunt, they came to the determination, at a meeting held 

 at Mr. Granville's on the 21st of April, of addressing every subscriber to 

 the Hunt iudi\-idually by a circular, and requesting their attendance at the 

 Warwick Arms, in Warwick, on the 27th of April, to form some definite 

 arrangement as to the future himting of the country. 



A very full meeting of the subscribers was consequently held on the 27th 

 of A])ril, 1836, at the Warwick Arms. Hyla Holden. Esq.. being in the 

 chair; wlien it was dotormiuod tliat tlie afore-nanunl committee be 

 •empowered to keep the hounds, ami liunt tlie country two days a week or 

 more, according to the subscriptions guaranteed to them; and further to 

 make such arrangements as they might tliink proper with any other 

 gentleman coming forward to hunt any part of their present country that 

 they might not want. 



In consequence of the above, Mr. Townsend was deputed to see Mr. 

 Hellior, which he did in company with others, and a great addition to his
