HISTORY OF THE L. & S. HUNT 



Hunt committee/ an honour which had never 

 before and has not since been conferred on any- 

 master who was only an ex officio member of 

 that body : while the greeting which he still 

 receives from the farmers and others in the country 

 whose friendship or acquaintance he made in the 

 course of his term of office, speak of a regard duly 

 formed and not to be lost through absence or the 

 lapse of years.
