' But a Cumberland hunt, says a local writer ' (p. 85). The 

 local writer quoted is the worshipful Chancellor Ferguson, F.S.A., 

 whose little work, The Cumberland Foxhounds, appeared anony- 

 mously. It may here be remarked that, as long ago as the 

 reign of King John, a breed of Harriers was kept in Cumber- 

 land. In the fourth year of that sovereign, Allan Wastehouse 

 received a sum of £109, 15s. as the wages for a year and a half 

 of himself and four attendants. This included the maintenance 

 of ten dogs, bred for hunting Hares, as their title of ' leporarii ' 

 plainly proves.
