2o8 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



invariably fell in with the hounds. Colonel 

 Adam Blandy, of Kingstone ; Dr. Batts, of 

 Oxford ; Dr. Burgess, of Fyfield, a capital 

 man, commonly called Bursar Burgess, looked 

 after Bagley Wood, went well, but a little 

 jealous ; George Tollit, of Oxford, then kept 

 his hunters, and went out regularly, but un- 

 fortunately he would go racing, which spoilt 

 his hunting ; and Mr. Figg, who kept a livery 

 stable, was quite a character ; he was a round 

 little man ; Bob Croft, of the Haymarket, once 

 insulted him terribly by saying that if they cut 

 off his arms and legs he would make a capital 

 orarden roller ; then there were the two Whit- 

 fields, farmers, who lived near Kingston 

 Spinnies, both good preservers ; Mr. W. T. 

 H. Graham, the elder of Fitzharris, Abingdon, 

 father-in-law of Mr. C. Duffield, and his sons ; 

 Mr. G. F. Crowdy, of Faringdon, who was 

 joint Secretary with Mr. Aldworth, of Frilford; 

 and Mr. William Lenthall, of Besselsleigh, and 

 his sons Edmund and William ; and many 

 others.
