CHAPTER X. 



A Committee, 1834 to 1835. 



Mr. Thomas Thornhill Morland, 

 1835 TO 1847. 



On the retirement of Lord Radnor no master 

 appeared to be forthcoming, so a committee 

 was appointed consisting of the following 

 gentlemen, to make arrangements : Messrs. 

 John Phillips, Walter Strickland, Thomas 

 Stonor and Thomas Thornhill Morland. Mr. 

 Phillips was then hunting the Oxfordshire 

 country recently separated from the Old Berk- 

 shire. In April, 1834, the committee called 

 a meeting at Abingdon, when the following 

 resolutions were agreed upon : — 



Resolved that the countries lately hunted by Lord 

 Radnor and Mr. Phillips be united, and that they 

 shall be hunted three days a week. Three days a 

 fortnight in Oxon, and of these three days the fix- 

 tures shall be alternately in the hill and vale ; and 

 the hounds shall be hunted by a servant. 



That on the part of Oxon it is agreed that they 

 shall be at liberty to separate their country upon 

 giving notice in any year.
