Mr. Greene, 1841 to 1847. 



Mr. Greene, of Eolleston, is mentioned as a prominent 

 rider in Sir Harry Goodricke's time, and was the first 

 Leicestershire landowner to take the hounds since Mr. 

 Boothby. Tom Day was his huntsman, and it was 

 during his mastership that the Quorn and Mr. Musters' 

 hounds joined and killed their fox together near Plum- 

 tree, as described in the appendix to "Notitia Yenatica." 



Sir RicJiard Sutton, 1847 to l^b^.—Died 1855. 



Sir Eichard had previously hunted the Burton and 

 Cottesmore countries, in the latter of which he gave but 

 little satisfaction, as will be seen by a letter in one of 

 these pages, contained in Will Stansby's Diary. His 

 kindness and hospitality, and the generous manner in 

 which he hunted the Qviorn country, caused a universal 

 mourning there at his sudden death in the beginning of 

 the season 1855. It must have been in 1853 or 1854 

 that my father took me to meet Sir Richard's hounds at 

 Lodge-on-the- Wolds, when I was about twelve or thir- 

 teen. I remember the white collars of the men, which 

 I was afterwards told were introduced by Sir Richard 

 that he might the more readily distinguish his own 

 servants in the crowd. Sir Richard first created the 

 country now hunted by Sir Bache Cunard, by giving his 

 son, Mr. Richard Sutton, a pack of hounds to hunt there 

 two days a week, it being a portion of the Quorn. Mr. 

 Banks Wright, Sir Richard's half brother, celebrated as 

 a light weight and fine horseman, made the great repu- 

 tation during his brother's various masterships, which 

 he so justly preserved to the last years of his life. 



Lord Stamford, 1856 to ISC^S.—Died 1883. 



Mr. Clowes, 1863 to 1866.
