owners of coverts in the " Vale of Berks," with 

 the exception of Lord Radnor and Mr. Pryse 

 Pryse, and after consultation together the fol- 

 lowing resolution was passed and signed by all 

 those present : — 



We, the undersigned proprietors of coverts, for- 

 merly hunted by Mr. Symonds, considering that any 

 attempt to divide such country to be an infraction 

 of the laws of foxhunting, do hereby consent, on 

 an appeal made to us by several gentlemen of the 

 country, to preserve our coverts exclusively for such 

 pack as may be supported by them. 



With a view, however, to promote an amicable 

 arrangement for the present year, we suggest that 

 this meeting be adjourned till Wednesday, the 3rd day 

 of October next at the " Crown Inn," Faringdon, at 

 two o'clock, and we pledge ourselves in the meantime 

 not to stop the earths on our properties for either 

 party.
