 name, as the father is called " Old Pop," and 

 the son " George Pop." Two guineas appears

 shillings for finding a hare ; and eight shil- 

 lings for a dead horse. Mr. George Twvnam 

 died at Whitchurch, March 18th, 1846, aged 

 eighty-six. 



1813. Mr. John Delme of Cams kept a 



Mr. Deime. pack of fox-hounds for one season. 

 Smith was huntsman, who was afterwards

 sold at Tattersall's, and the servants who went 

 up with them were all dressed in deep mourn-

 blishment being broken up, went to Mr. 

 Villebois.

races on Soberton Down, May 1st.
