SIR FENTON AYLMER AND MR A. HENRY 



Sir, 



Sir Fenton Aylmer having communicated to the 

 Hunt your having lately dismissed from your ser- 

 vice a servant who had been detected in destroying 

 some foxes from the covers at Landenstown, I am 

 requested to assure you that the gentlemen of the 

 Hunt do not fail to entertain a due sense of this 

 instance of so liberal attention as well as obliging 

 disposition to promote the accommodation and 

 wishes of the Hunt. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your most obedient humble servant, 

 Leonard Kilbee: Secy. 

 Kilcullen. 4th April 1808. 

 To John Digby, Esqr: 



I find that the culprit thus punished was Mr 

 Digby 's butler. 



Other notes from these old minutes may be 

 added. The Secretary, Mr Kilbee, received a salary 

 of j(^20 a year; on March 25, 1808, it was resolved 

 " that in future the collection of tenpenny pieces 

 shall be discontinued "; April 8 of the same 

 year saw a change in the Hunt uniform. It was then 

 decided by ballot, " that the future hunting uni- 

 form, coat and waistcoat of the Kildare Hunt shall 

 be plain scarlet, the Dress Uniform to remain the 

 same, namely Blue cloth coat. Black Velvet Cape 

 and Buff Waistcoat " and a link connecting the
