MR. IIKNRV JOHN' CONVKKS. Si 



found expression in a leaflet ur^in<4' the Dissenters of 

 Essex to come forward and support Mr. Bramston, in 

 spite of his Toryism, "and thus contril^ute to save the 

 County from putting- a Burlesque on Representation by 

 returning his opponent." 



As Mr. Conyers grew older and heavier, he was com- 

 pelled to moderate his exertions. According to the recol- 

 lection of an old Essex sportsman, Mr. Conyers, in his later 

 years, hunted the north country about once in six weeks, 

 on Fridays and Saturdays. Friday's pack was brought 

 from Copt Hall on Thursday, that for Saturday following 

 on Friday. The hounds were kennelled at Easton Lodge 

 initil the squire's vocabulary exhausted Lord Maynard's 

 patience and caused a change of quarters to an inn at 

 Dunmow. Sometimes they stayed at Langleys with Sam 

 Adams the miller,' and sometimes at Hatfield with that 

 old-fashioned sportsman, Tom Webb, whom the master 

 was wont to greet with, " Hullo, my little Webby ! " 



Mr. Conyers undoubtedly showed excellent sport, 

 though the records of great runs during his mastership 

 are not numerous. Some very interesting notes, referring 



' This worthy sportsman used to turn out in a pony cart, an<l follow the 

 hounds up to the time of his deatli, which occurred durinj; the period of Mr. 

 C. E. Green's mastership.
