1604-5. In the Account for the following year, amounting 

 to 895^. 15s. lO^d., we find the Master now styled Sir Thomas 

 Tyrringham, Knight, in the receipt of SSL Qs. 8d. " for his 

 fee or wages paiable q^rterlye and due to him for one whole

 change is noticeable in the personnel of the officials of the hunt,

 Little had succeeded " in the roome and place " of George 

 Howme as Keeper of the hound- van with the same salary and
