troubles with the colliers, and Lord Bagot and his troop 

 kept watch and ward over the county gaol. Once more 

 during the Chartist riots he was put on active service. 

 Finally, he commanded the regiment and was honorary 

 colonel when he died. 



His son, the present Lord Bagot, was captain of the 

 Uttoxeter troop of the same yeomanry. He was also a 

 Gentleman Usher of the Privy Chamber of her Majesty, 

 the late Queen, from 1885. Owing to ill health he never 

 comes out hunting now, though he is a beautiful horseman, 

 but what would the Meynell Hunt do without Bagot's 

 Woods, to say nothing of all the other Blithfield coverts in 

 which foxes are so plentiful ? 



On April 2nd in this year (1887) the fox crossed the 

 Trent twice down by Wichnor.
