AND THE DUKES OF BICEMOND. 219 



" Goodwood Hunt," as it was then called years after, that the 

 numbers of it were pretty much confined to the county of Sussex. 

 On the fourth Duke of Eichmond going to Ireland as Lord- 

 Lieutenant, the hounds were presented to King George IV., 

 and soon after symptoms of madness showing themselves amongst 

 the pack, they were all destroyed. So ended the glories of 

 Goodwood and the Goodwood Pack. 



FoxhaU was pulled down, the residences of the various 

 noblemen in the village have disappeared (the Duke of Eich- 

 mond 's lodging remaining), with all vestiges of the Charlton 

 Hunt once so famous, and the villager, as he hears the distant 

 cry of Lord Leconfield's hounds occasionally in the neighbour- 

 hood, may wonder at the changes in the world which have given 

 to that nobleman what all the rank and power of his great an- 

 cestor could never demand — the privilege of hunting West Sussex. 



Old Henry Budd, of Charlton, gamekeeper to the Duke of 

 Eichmond, who died in 1807, at the age of ninety-four, was one 

 of the last who remembered, personally, and could talk of the 

 frequenters of Charlton. He had heard his grandfather speak 

 of Monmouth, whom he had conversed with, and Harry had 

 either seen liimself or heard from his grandfather the names of 

 the following noted personages as visitors at Charlton : — Duke 

 of Monmouth, Duke of Grafton, Duke of Bolton, Duke of 

 Devonshire, Duke of Kingston, Duke of Montague, Duke of 

 Montrose, Duke of St. Albans, Dukes of Eichmond, Earl of 

 Pembroke, Earl of Lincoln, Earl of Sunderland, Earl of Kildare, 

 Earl of Dalkeith, Viscount Downe, Viscount Harcourt, Lord 

 Ossulstone, Lord Hervey, Lord "Walpole, Lord Eavensworth, 

 Lord Nassau Powlett, Lords William and Harry Beauclerc, Lord 

 Eobert Manners, Viscount Dursley, Lord Lifford, Lord Cowper,

 Hardenberg, Mr. Watson Wentworth (afterwards Marquis of 

 Eockingham), Hon. J. Dormer, Hon. C. Bentinck, Hon. G.
