i62 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



Captain Jones said: "That is where the horse- 

 whipping was to have taken place, and if 

 one had not done it another would." They 

 changed horses at Fairford, when Lord Gifford 

 said he thouo^ht it had been a friend comino- 

 to call him out. They arrived at Faringdon 

 about half-past three, and went before Lord 

 Radnor and Mr. Cleaver, who they found at 

 Mr. Crowdy's house. 



Mr. Pusey then made an information, and 

 gave evidence that he believed Lord Gifford 

 would, on the Monday following, commit a 

 breach of the peace at Buscot by assaulting 

 Mr. T. T. Morland. After Mr. Pusey had 

 given his evidence. Lord Radnor asked Lord 

 Gifford if he had anything to say, when Lord 

 Gifford replied that he had nothing to say. 

 Lord Radnor then said it would be their duty 

 to call upon Lord Gifford to enter into recog- 

 nisances with sureties to keep the peace for six 

 months. Lord Gifford said, Very well, Mr. 

 Cripps and Captain Jones would be his sureties. 

 The recognisances were then taken. A conver- 

 sation took place in an undertone about the 

 letters which had been mentioned, when Mr. 

 Pusey said he could not help hearing what was 

 being said, and all he could say was that he 

 was there to answer upon oath any questions 

 Lord Gifford liked to ask him. Lord Gifford 

 replied that he had no question to put.
