136 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



perhaps have done well to waive it on the present 

 occasion. 



It strikes me, however, that you ought to have 

 Coxwell Furze Hills distinctly added to your present 



country. 



Truly yours, 



Radnor. 



House of Commons, July 28th, 1842. 

 Dear Morland, — I perfectly remember the meet- 

 ing at Faringdon, some years ago, at which the 

 arrangement was made for dividing the country now 

 hunted by you, so long as Lord Ducie hunted that 

 part he has now given up, and which it is proposed 

 should now be hunted by Lord Gififord. It is only 

 right, therefore, for the sake of preventing any further 

 disputes on the subject, either that you should take 

 possession of the whole of the old country, or that 

 some arrangement of a similar nature to that entered 

 into with Lord Ducie should be agreed upon in Lord 

 Gifford's case. 



Believe me, yours very sincerely, 

 Barrington. 



Norfolk Hotel, Brighton, 



July 22nd, 1842. 

 My Dear Morland,— With regard to your letter 

 to Raymond Cripps, a copy of which you sent me, I 

 think it is a very good letter, and that you were 

 perfectly right to send it ; indeed, I am sure you 

 would have been quite wrong if you had not made 

 your claim. You can make what use you like of the 

 above opinion. At any rate, you are quite right in 

 taking possession of your part of the country, and I 

 would not let Lord Gifford have it without a new 

 and clear understanding. I am, as you know, all for 

 the rights of the Old Berkshire country for posterity. 



Yours very truly, 



Folkestone.
