110 THE HISTOKY OF THE EOYAL BUCKHOUNDS. 



continued on and after Christmas 1610, we now find a new 

 and separate pack instituted for "the Prince" — Charles, Duke 

 of York. But, strictly speaking, it had no connection with 

 the King's privy or Household branch of the Royal Buck- 

 hounds j)er se, except that all the hunt servants formerly 

 attached to it (save those who were pensioned), were re- 

 employed in the separate service of the Prince. It does not, 

 therefore, come within the province of this history here to go 

 into its afiairs. Some particulars relating to it will be found 

 in our memoir of Sir Tymothy Tyrell (p. 130). So, wishing it 

 every prosperity and success, we respectfully bow-wow it out. 



1613-14. The account for the year ended at Michaelmas, 

 1614, amounts to 758/. 15s. 7d. Thomas Tissley (the "gentle- 

 man " to the pack, as heretofore, paid at the rate of 2s. a day) 

 is now degraded or promoted to the ofiice of yeoman pricker, 

 and in receipt of 3s. 8d. a day for his wages, by virtue of his 

 Majesty's letters patents, dated at Westminster January 3, 

 1613-14. Richard Hunt was likewise appointed one of the 

 yeomen prickers at 3s. 4cZ. a day by virtue of the same patent. 



1614-15. The account for year ended at Michaelmas 1615 

 amounts to 758/. 10s. 9d. All the hunt officials are still to 

 the fore and in the receipt of their several salaries and emolu- 

 ments save Thomas Wyer, one of the grooms, who died on 

 January 14, 1615, when he was succeeded by George Fowler, 

 with the wages of 20d. per day and 20s. for his livery payable 

 at Christmas. 



1615-16. The account for this year amounts to 769/. 6s. 5d. 

 One of the yeomen prickers, Thomas Murrall, died about 

 Christmas 1615. He was succeeded by William Connock, 

 with remuneration at 20d. a day and 20s. a year for his livery 

 " by virtue of H.M. warrant under the Signet, dated at 

 Newmarket the 28th day of February," 1615-16 ; and Edward 

 Walworth, one of the grooms, who died some time before 

 Lady Day 1616, when he was succeeded by Thomas Stevens, 

 " at 20d. a day for his wages and 20s. per annum for his livery, 

 during his natural life, the first payment thereof to begin at 

 the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
