the office he has so long and so honourably filled, 

 having served under four successive baronets. 



Paragreen of Blis worth, is another ; he served 

 for many years under the late Colonel FitzRoy 

 and his son (the General), who had the shooting 

 over a large portion of the Duke of Grafton's 

 property including Plane Woods. A more 

 energetic or zealous man could not be, nor one 

 who prided himself more in showing plenty of 

 foxes. He was also of great service when 

 depredations occurred in going to ascertain the 

 extent of the damage, and in rendering a 

 correct account to the manager of the Poultry 

 Fund. 



Whistley Wood has long been under the care 

 of John Pollard. The Huntsman knew where to 

 find him in that large covert, and never failed to 

 reach him as soon as he could knowing how 

 reliable he was. Lord Ellesmere was and is his 

 Master and appreciates the success of the hunt 

 in that favourite covert. Another good man under 

 the noble lord is Bonham who looks after Hatch 

 Woods and Halse Coppice. 



The late Spencer Longland was employed by 



the Duke of Grafton for many years in the Green's 



Norton country, and, at his death, was succeeded 



in the Duke's service at Wakefield by his son.
