35Q WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



I cannot help admiring the ' steady pare,' at wliicli he travelled 

 through life. He had always a good house over his heiid — some good 

 hvmters in his stable — some racehorses at his trainer's — some good 

 brood mares in his paddocks — a young one or Uvo coming up — some 

 good j)ointers in his kennels — a pretty girl to wait .at table — a good 

 glass of wine for his friends — some good stories to tell tliem — and he 

 has always given them a hearty welcome. 



Mr. Lockley died on Thursday, March 5th, 1829, whilst on a visit 

 to Mr. W. Grazebrook, at Audnam, near Stouibridge, and had but nine 

 days before expressed his wish to run to earth among his friends. On 

 the Tuesday previously he met the hounds of Mr. T. Boycott, at Wood- 

 cot Green, near which place a fox was found. After a severe chase of 

 one hour and 20 minutes, reynard went to ground, and Mr. Lockley 

 was observed to be well up with the hounds. In the first mile he got 

 a fall, and though bleeding profusely from the nose, both eyes, and 

 internally, and his right eye swollen up, (he had long been deprived 

 of the other,) he not only refused to quit the field, but afterwards rode 

 to Audnam, 16 miles, and intended to hunt on the following Friday. 

 He, however, became worse, and died, surrounded by his friends, in 

 the 79th year of his age. — nimrod. 



Mr. Lockley was the Father of the Turf, and the Field. He was 

 well known to the Wanvickshire Hunt, and for many years regularly 

 attended Warwick Races, where he generally had a horse or two, 

 to run.
