162 THE HISTOEY OF THE EOTAL BUCKHOUNDS. 



Esqs., were returned by the mayor, bailiffs, and select bur- 

 gesses." On November 4 the Committee of Elections and 

 Privileges reported that in the Borough of New Windsor the 

 inhabitants only who pay scot and lot had a right to vote in 

 the election of burgesses to serve in Parliament for the said 

 Borough ; that Messrs. Winwood and Starkey were duly 

 chosen to serve in that Parliament for the Borough of New 

 Windsor; and that Messrs. Carey and Powney were illegally 

 returned and should be unseated, which report was adopted 

 by the House. Probably this John Carey was the Master 

 of the Buckhounds, but as there was another gentleman of 

 the same name connected with the Court at this time, we 

 are unable to say positively which of them was the person 

 in question. 



The following is a summary of the financial affairs of the 

 Household branch of the Boyal Buckhounds during the reign 

 of Charles II., beginning with the payments for the year
