LORD NAAS, 1857-1862 



where it was not too well received by the Meath 

 hunting men, who rather looked upon us as tres- 

 passers in their country, but when the real facts 

 became known the feeling soon died out. 



" Collestown had formerly belonged to the 

 Kildare country but was handed over to the Meath 

 some years before. 



" When the fox was broken up Gaffney begged 

 Goodall to give him a piece of the fur to take home 

 to his master, old Jerry Aylmer at Painstown, as he 

 said he would not believe he was at the end of the 

 run if he had not something to show. 



*' I sold Yellow Jack the horse I rode that day to 

 your uncle by marriage, William Moore, for £200 

 the following season. The grey that Gaffney rode 

 was sold to Sir James Higginson, and Lord St. 

 Lawrence on my advice bought Capt. Warbur- 

 ton's horse at the close of the season. 



" Fred Henry got one of the pads and had a 

 paper cutting added to it. I saw it often at Lodge 

 Park." 



I shall now give Mr Robert Kennedy's remarks 

 upon the run. 



" The account from Irish Sport is a fairly true 

 account, but the run took place from Laragh 

 covert, then, like most other coverts, a perfect 

 wreck, only a few furze bushes here and there. 

 Hanway's father was then earthstopper, a very 

 worthy decent man. Your father got out of his 

 dogcart, and walked from end to end of the covert
