Past and Present, 5 



He had been out Ininting two or three times after 

 the fall, but he never squeaked until I happened 

 to notice it. He was not musical, but had a 

 •capital voice to hounds. 



The following was told me by the late 

 Mr. George Winn, of Askrigg : — In the old days 

 of Vauxhall Gardens, one night when he and my 

 father was there, a song was called for between 

 the dances. A man standing close to him said, 

 "I can sing 'Tom Bowling,' can you give a 

 ■'View, halloa? ' " *' Yes," he immediately replied, 

 "if you will step on my foot when you want it, 

 I'll give it." He did, much to the delight of the 

 assemblage. Next day, when walking up Regent 

 Street, two men passed them, and one of them 

 was heard to remark, " That's the jolly little 

 rosy-faced man who gave the 'View, halloa!' at 

 Vauxhall, last night." He was of a most kind 

 and genial disposition. Hunting was his greatest 

 pleasure in life. He died at Thornton Rust, on 

 December 20th, 1878, in his eighty-fifth year. I 

 think I may safely say that he never had an 

 ^enemy.
