1608-9. The cost of the pack for this year, as recorded in 

 this account, amounted to 1136/. 17s. 7hd. The hunt servants 

 appear in their several capacities and emoluments as we find 

 them in the preceding year. One important change must be

 pack, as exhibited in the preceding accounts. In the last one 

 we find him paid down to Christmas 1607. Now we find, by 

 the two following entries, that the afiinity hitherto subsisting 

 between the Hereditary Master and a certain draft connected 

 with the Privy or Household branch of the pack is brought to 

 an end : —
