1851] THE EEV. WILLIAM S. MILLEE. 213 



and at frightful risk. On the way further down, l^roinley 

 shot a bear, a tlung not often done in Norway. I also 

 remember tisliing a river there, the higliest or Foss pool, 

 which was bounded by a precipice, and T asked the Nor- 

 wegian who accompanied us whether a sahiion liad ever been 

 caught in it. He replied only one, and "if you want to 

 catch another you must do what Bromley did. We let him 

 down from the topol" the rock with a rope tied round his body, 

 and he hooked the lisli, and we then pulled him up again." 

 Mr. Bromley Davenport was returned as a Conservative for 

 several years for North Warwickshire, and was famous for 

 the wit and humour of his after-dinner speeches. — C. M. 



The Eev. William Sanderson Miller, of liadway 

 Granofe, whom we have before mentioned, deserves more 

 tlian a passing notice in a work of this description. 



When we used to see him going over a country sitting 

 well down in the saddle, his eye on the hounds, not, 

 perhaps, on a first class hunter, but riding as straight as if 

 he was on a 2U()-guinea one, no fence stopping him, no day 

 too long, and no brook too wide, no fall too heavy, one 

 could not help recalling the stirring lines of the great 

 Wizard of the North. 



Saw'st gallaut Miller's failing eye, 

 Still bent where Albion's banners fly. 



Zimri, who killed his master, could not damage the 

 stout-hearted parson, in fact, we don't think a hammer 

 could have done the deed. When he broke his leg through 

 the kick of a cart colt, he calmly gave directions how and 

 where he was to l)e carried. 



He had a very favourite horse, the Scjuire, which he 

 rode for many seasons, but he never went better than he 

 did on the before-mentioned Zimri, and a young horse of 

 Miss Susan Verney's, bought ])y the late Mr. Eobert K. 

 Verney, in Ireland, Clashmore by name. 



He always got a good start, because he never left the 

 hounds when going from covert to covert, but now we 

 look in \ain for the familiar figure of our veteran friend 

 bobhing along just ])ehind the sec(jnd whij).
