MR. HARVEY COMBE . 89 



I beg to add that I have engaged him in the Good- 

 wood Cup, being determined to give the public the 

 earliest opportunity to judge of his merits. I am 

 Sir, your Obedt. servant, 



H. Combe. 



Mr. Scott naturally resented the imputation 

 thus cast upon him, and he did not lack sup- 

 porters, and the published correspondence 

 closes with the follow^ing testimonial : — 



John Scott. We have read the statement of 

 correspondence you have sent us, and we are perfectly 

 satisfied that you have done all that is necessary for 

 your justification ; and having no reason to doubt 

 your integrity shall continue our countenance and 

 support, as heretofore. We are, &c., 



Westminster. George Anson. 

 Chesterfield. John Bowes. 

 Wilton. 



Mr. Combe was never married. He died in 

 1858, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Mr. 

 Charles Combe, son of his youngest brother 

 by his second wife. Mr. Charles Combe served 

 in the 3rd Bombay Cavalry in Persia, and 

 through the Indian mutiny, under Sir Hugh 

 Rose. He now resides at Cobham Park. 



The lineal representative of the family is 

 Major Harvey T. B. Combe, of Oaklands, 

 Battle, Sussex.
