SHOOTING IN NEW FOREST 247 



week to the Lord Warden (then H.R.H. the 

 Duke of Cambridge). A regular system was in 

 force under which week by week two of the 

 keepers shot together in their respective and 

 adjoining walks, so that by degrees the whole 

 Forest was laid under contribution in rotation. I 

 have picked out some of the weeks which seem 

 noteworthy.
