Nutwith, winner op the St. Leger, 1843, copied 
from an outline portrait taken expressly for Bell’s Life 
in London, by J. F. Herring. For the above cut, we 
are indebted to the obliging editor of the New York 
Spirit of the Times, Win. T. Porter, Esqr. 
Description. —Nutwith stands, according to Robert 
Johnson’s measurement, 15 hands 2| inches; but has, 
when mounted, the appearance of a smaller horse. He 
has a long, straight head; light and rather short neck; 
strong shoulders, well laid back, and is good in the brisk¬ 
et ; unusually large arms, with clean light legs, and long 
upright pasterns; his back .short, his loins arched; 
well ribbed, as a sailor would say, fore and aft; has 
long quarters, full muscular gaskins and thighs ; small 
hocks, and rather curby in their appearance ; tail well 
set on. A noble marquis sent his agent to Middleham 
to see him when a two-year-old, and the latter gave it 
as his opinion that his hocks were not to be trusted to* 
or in all probability he would have gone sooth. 
Pedigree.— Nutwith bred by the late Captain Wrath-* 
er, is by Tomboy, out of a Comus mare bred by Mr. 
Wrather in 1816, her dam Plumper’s dam by DelpinL 
out of Miss Muston by King Fergus—Espersykes * 
Hackfall and Colchicum are out of the same mare. 
He takes his name from Nutwith, near Masham, York¬ 
shire.
