Tliis was very visible to sportsmen that were then 

 on the turf those two clays. Why did not Sir 

 Charles Banbury strike this character off from 

 being used by any members of the Jockey Club ? 

 but instead of this being done, those characters 

 that are supposed to have to do with those break- 

 ing into stables to poison horses for their race, 

 and that trained Oscar for the abovementioned 

 rascally race ; those characters has and have, 

 with Colonel Leigh's assistance, worked them- 

 selves into the management of the Prince of 

 Wales's race horses, &c. and worked me out 

 of His Royal Highness' s service. 



I received a letter, dated the 7 th November 

 1803, for me to be discharged from the Prince's 

 service, and my pension to cease to this date, for 

 my ingratitude to His Royal Highness, and my 

 son William's atrocious conduct to Colonel Leigh. 

 Where my ingratitude has been to the Prince I 

 know not. My pension I sold. 



I could get no redress from the Prince, nor by 



lavv.
