MEMOIR OK THE KILKENNY HUNT. 75 



figure in the field, and remained so for many years 

 afterwards; and Mr. Congreve Fleming kept the field 

 during the whole of the succeeding mastership, and 

 during a portion of Mr. Briscoe's time. So did Mr. 

 Flood, Mr. Robert Stannard, Mr. Rochfort, Mr. 

 Marum, Mr. Thomas Lalor, and Mr. Aylward. In 

 addition to the above may be mentioned the follow- 

 ing, who also hunted with the Kilkenny Hounds 

 about this time, or during the two succeeding reigns : 

 Major Bunbury (a very hard man, who rode well- 

 bred horses), Mr. James Poe, Mr. Mosse, the Messrs. 

 Murphy of Mount Loftus, Mr. John Power, Mr. 

 Doyle, the Earl of Carrick (who usually bred his 

 own horses, and rode them well), Mr. Richard Bushe, 

 Mr. Bookey, Mr. Hamilton Law, Mr. Cormick, Mr. 

 Samuel Bruce (afterwards Master of the Duhallows), 

 Mr. Cramer Roberts, Dr. Bradley, Mr. Cooper, Mr. 

 J. Connellan, Mr. Adams, Mr. Pallin, Mr. James 

 Sullivan, Mr. Hart, Mr. J. Xowlan, Mr. Joseph 

 Thacker, Mr. Richard (afterwards Sir Richard) 

 Power, the Messrs. Jones of Mullinabro, Messrs. 

 St. George, and others. Lord Bessborough rarely 

 missed a meet at his end of the country, and, 

 though he was never a hard rider, loved a hunt as 

 well as any man, and saw much of the doings of a 

 day. Colonel Tighc joined in on his side, as did Mr. 

 Alexander Hamilton, who hunted the Woodstock 

 Harriers for about ten years in the neighbourhood 

 of Inistiogc, where hares were then abundant, and 

 where most days were marked by a gallop over the 

 slopes of Brandon or the walls of Kilcross.
