MEMOIR OF THE KILKENNY HUNT. 21 



CHAPTER II. 



AFTER the Kilkenny Hunt had been established for 

 some years, Mr. Power took to keeping a journal of 

 his sport and of other matters in connection with it. 

 With regard to finance he mentions little. The pack 

 was his own, and remained the property of the family 

 for about seventy years. The kennels were built at 

 his own expense in his own demesne, and he was a 

 complete autocrat in the management of the Hunt. 

 But he took a subscription, and he mentions his 

 subscribers and the amount they gave him in the 

 years 1805 and 1815. It seems that a Mr. Staunton 

 received the subscriptions for him in the former 

 year. It must be borne in mind that the accounts 

 given as under for the year 1815 are in English 

 money, which had then come into use, and that the 

 actual sums subscribed were given in Irish money.
