Eight pounds, twelve shillings, and sixpence ; 

 which being interpreted means $ 47.30 in the 

 lawful currency of the United States. The hunter 

 and hack for one day cost $ 23.52. 



An American friend living with his family in 

 Leamington (much more cheaply than he could 

 live at home), kept two hunters and a hack, and 

 hunted them twice a week for the whole season 

 (nearly six months) at a cost, including the loss on 

 his horses, which he sold in the spring, of less 

 than $ 1,500. I think this is below the average 

 expense.
