 season. Tom Steeples followed, also for one season,

 Lord Middleton until 1818. He was excellent in the 

 kennel, although, perhaps somewhat slow in the field. 

 He had been huntsman to Lord Vernon before coming 

 to Warwickshire. A severe fall disabled him and he 

 retired with an annuity from Lord Middleton. Zac 

 Goddard, Tom Smith, and Jack Stevens were his Lord- 

 ship's whips. The men were always splendidly 

 mounted. 



Lord Middleton died on the 19th of June, 1835, at 

 his seat, Wollaton House, Nottinghamshire, at the 

 ripe age of 75 years. His title was derived from 

 Middleton in Warwickshire, a county with which, as 

 the leader of its sport for ten years, he is mainly 

 associated.
