HUNTING TOURS. 223 



lock Edge are claimed by two other hunts, 

 the Wheatland and the United Pack, and 

 being frequently routed the foxes are wild 

 and very stout. 



Since the foregoing Avas written a change 

 has taken place, Mr. Sitwell having resigned 

 in favour of Major Murray; and George Hills, 

 from the Herefordshire, has been appointed 

 huntsman in the place of Christopher Nicholl 

 who entered into an engagement with Mr. 

 Henley Greaves to hunt his hounds in the 

 Old Berkshire country, which engagement 

 was of brief duration. The hounds remain 

 as before at their old kennels, and Major 

 Murray has taken up his abode at the Wet- 

 raores, formerly the residence of that good 

 old sportsman Mr. Stubbs.
