382 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



Own Yorkshire Yeomanry, and in 1889 was 

 appointed Honorary Colonel of the regiment. 

 He was offered the command of the East 

 Yorkshire Brigade of Yeomanry, but declined. 

 At the cavalry manoeuvres in 1896 he was 

 attached to the staff of Colonel Liddell, who 

 commanded the Second Brigade. 



For seven years he had been Chairman of 

 the bench of Magistrates of the Faringdon 

 Petty Sessional Division. He had been a 

 leading member of the Berkshire County 

 Council, and Chairman of the District Council, 

 since the formation of those bodies. It would 

 be indeed difficult to speak too highly of the 

 value of the work done by him in all these 

 capacities. His death was mourned by the 

 whole neighbourhood, and by none more 

 sincerely than by his friends of the Old Berks 

 Hunt.
