254 THE HISTORY OF NEWMARKET. [Book XL 



Buckingham who maintained the horse could not 

 sturne Boepeepe, nor get indeed any trial of him. 

 Lord Garrett beat Mr. May's gelding, and since we 

 came away there have been 3 matches more. My 

 Lord Buckingham ran the parson's mare, as they call 

 her, with a gelding of Mr. Bar. Howard 's,^'^ and lost. 

 My Lord Garrett ran his horse (to whom Mr. Elliott 

 paid the forfeit) with my Lord Buckingham's horse 

 Spavins, and lost. My Lord Townley's'" horse Herring 

 ran with Lord Suffolk's horse Whitefoot and won. 

 The King was nobly entertained by Lord Suffolk, and 

 I think will buy his house." f 



^■^^ Sir Paul Neile (or Neale) was son and heir to 

 Richard Neale, or Neil, who was promoted to the see of 

 Lincoln in 16 14. His right reverend sire had been suc- 

 cessively Bishop of Rochester, Lichfield and Coventry, and 

 he was afterwards removed to the see of Durham in 161 7, 

 and then to Winchester in 1627, and lastly to York, in 1631. 

 He died October 31, 1640, three days before the Long 

 Parliament began to sit, and was buried in St. Peter's church, 

 Westminster. His memory was afterwards branded by the 

 Puritans. Le Neve says William Ley, 4th Earl of Marl- 

 borough, married Margaret Hewit, daughter of Sir William 

 Hewit, of Breccles, and on the demise of the earl, she became 

 " mistress to S"" Paul Neale son & heir to . . . Neale Ld. 

 Bp. of Line." 



17^ Edmund Butler, 4th Viscount Mountgarret — 

 eldest son and successor of Richard Butler, 3rd Viscount 

 Mountgarret (ob. 165 1) and Margaret, eldest daughter of 

 Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone — during the L'ish insurrection 

 of 1641 (which proved so fatal to many of the old Anglo-Irish 

 catholic families), served under his father, then general in 



* One of the Townleys of Lancashire. See vol. i. pp. 355, 356.
