lived near Brigg, and a relative of his who bred him. 

 He ran him twice at Caistor and Lincoln, and the horse 

 was afterwards purchased at a long figure by Mr. 

 Joseph Anderson, the famous Piccadilly dealer and 

 owner of steeplechase horses, and he in turn passed 

 him over to the Earl of Pembroke, who at that time
