After three years Mr. White re- 1Si3 

 signed the management of the Hursley Mr. r. d. 

 hounds, and was succeeded by Mr. master of 

 Robert Drayton Cockburn, son of theHlirs1 ^ 

 the Dean of York, and nephew of Sir Robert 

 Peel, Bart., who, with his brother, hunted these 

 hounds up to 1850, and during that time 

 showed extraordinary sport. Mr. Cockburn 

 was certainly one of the best gentlemen hunts- 

 men that ever came into the country, and very 

 popular as a master of hounds. Combined with 

 a thorough knowledge of the sport, he showed 

 great judgment in the selection and manage- 

 ment of his hounds. His death, which was 

 caused by jaundice, took place on the 15th of 

 June, 1850, at the rectory Kelston, near Rath, 

 the residence of his father. Mr. Cockburn, 

 from wearing brown top-boots, which then had 

 not come into fashion, was familiarly called 

 " Mahogany Bob." Robert Teed was Mr. 

 Cockburn's whip. On Mr. White's retirement, 

 a further period of seven years ivas granted by 

 the H. H. to Mr. Cockburn to hunt the Hursley 

 country.
