Records of the Old Cliarlton Hunt 



1832. 



From Lord Delawarr* Bolderwood, to the Duke of Richmond^ 



in Loyidon. 



[Jack Ware in disgrace.] 



Oct. 2, 1732. 



My Lord, 



I came hither last night, and have this morning 



viewd your Graces Hounds very carefully, and can assure 



you there is either very much ignorance, or Neglect, in the 



Composition of Jack Ware, nor Do I think Rowell quite to 



be excus'd. I seperated from amongst the Old Hounds 



eight Couple throughly INlangey, they say they have 



anointed them and given them some /Ethiops IMineralis. 



So I immediately purg'd them and with the Buckthorn 



gave them some Flower of Sulphur, both to take off the 



Griping quality of the Buckthorn, and so throw the 



Humour out of their Blood. When I went from Hence I 



thought such an Accident impossible to have happen'd, for 



they were very clean, and since that have had seven times 



Whey, and each time 2 pound of Brimstone, which course 



of Physick would have cured the great Devil of the IMangs, 



and now these have it, but I hope to sett them to rights ; 



This was the IManner that made him bring in Such 



Apothecarys Bills, and to be sure att this rate they will 



want more Physick than Meat. With the remaining part 



of the old ones We shall Hunt to morrow, the Ground is 



* John, 1st Earl Delawarr, assisted the Duke in the management of his 

 hounds for many years. 



He found Jack Ware a great trial, and was greatly relieved when Tom 

 Johnson succeeded as huntsman. 



Bolderwood was the Duke's headquarters in the New Forest.
