1623-24. The account for this year is the last one (for a 

 whole year calculated from Michaelmas 1623 to Michaelmas 

 1624) of the reign of James I. It amounts to exactly the 

 same sum (818^. 4<s. 4ff/.) as in the preceding year. There is 

 absolutely no change in the officials of the pack, nor in their 

 respective salaries and emoluments, as we find it on the 

 establishment down to date. On the accession of Charles I., 

 in the following year, many changes necessarily ensued. As 

 these changes are investigated in detail in Chapter VI., it is 

 only necessary here to make a brief recapitulation of the Privy 

 or Household branch of the Royal Buckhounds as we find it 

 down to Michaelmas 1624. The Master, Sir Thomas Tyring- 

 ham, wages 33/. 6s. 8d. per annum ; the Sergeant, Robert 

 Walker, fee oil. Ss. 4<d. per annum, and 100/. a year for feeding 

 and keeping 16 couples of hounds; Robert Hancock, head 

 yeoman pricker (probably the huntsman), at 2s. 6^d. a day 

 and no livery ; eight yeomen prickers at 20r/, each a day for 

 wages and 20^. per annum each for liveries — viz., E. Dodsworth, 



F. Dodsworth, J. Cocker, W. Cocker, R. Crockford, Rt. Hancock, 

 Roger Williams, and William Lee ; two yeomen prickers — 

 Wm. Sale and Anthony Holland — at 2.s', a day each wages and 

 20s. each for liveries ; one yeoman pricker, Wm. Connock, 

 3s. 8d. a day for wages and no livery; one yeoman pricker, 

 Wm. Hunte, at 3s. 4<d. a day wages and no livery; one wag- 

 goner, John Hake, wages 20cZ. a day and no livery ; one yeoman 

 harbinger, Robert Pattison, wages 12d. a day and no livery. 



Apart from these payments charged on the establishment of this 

 branch of the pack, the Treasurer of the Chamber of the House- 

 hold distributed an additional sum of 101/. 17s. to F. Dods- 

 worth, E. Dodsworth, T. Lee, H. Dodsworth, W. Sale, W. Cocker, 

 J. Cocker, J. Hake, Roger Williams, A. Holland, R. Pattison, R. 

 Crockford, and R. Walker, "yeomen of H.M. Buckhounds, each
