 Timothy's keepers were, at this time (1G32), ten years in 

 arrear of their salaries. 



In conclusion of our brief memoir of this Master of the 

 Buckhounds it only remains to be stated that he, and Sir 

 Thomas Badger, and Thomas Potts, enjoyed a royal licence 

 to transport to any parts beyond the seas all manner of 

 hounds, beagles, and sporting dogs, with a special command 

 to the officers of ports not to admit any other person to 

 transport any kind of sporting dogs without their permission

 Tyrwhitt, Esquire, of Scrotter, county Lincoln, and Anne, 

 daughter of Edward Bassett, Esquire, of Fledborough, county 

 Notts. He was placed in the household of Thomas Howard, 

 first Earl of Sufiblk, Lord High Treasurer, temp. James I., and
