MR JOHN LA TOUCHE, 1841-1846 



died almost instantaneously in the stand at the 

 Curragh races of that year. His elder brother John 

 gave up the hounds and never rode again. Wm La 

 Touche continued his care of the pack for many 

 years after, to the enduring advantage of the Kil- 

 dare Hunt, but his nephew tells me that he gave up 

 all active part in hunting at the same time.
