On the Wolds near to Pocklington, Mr. James E. Singleton, 

 has long been a successful breeder of Leicesters, and at the Kirk- 

 levington sale in ] 850, he purchased Waterloo 4th, which bred him 

 two heifers, and from the older sister originated the well known 

 Lady Waterloos, which were eventually parted with to Mr. Cheney. 

 The shorthorns are now removed fiom Givendale, to a higher lying 

 farm belonging to Mr. Singleton, known as Greenwick, and is at 

 present famous for the excellent family of Ruths, exhibited at the 

 Yorkshire Meetings at Hull, and Selby, in 1881-5, at the former in
