A handsome gold snuff-box, equivalent in weight to lOO guineas, pre- sented to his father, has descended as an heirloom and a pleasing memento of olden times.

More recently, in April 1863, the apprecia- tion of the country was most significantly displayed by the presentation of plate to the value of 200 sovereigns..., as an appropriate compliment to Mr Cradock. It comprises a large silver salver, two pairs of candle- sticks, and a pair of stands or epergnes, with raised dishes for fruit or flowers, beau- tifully embossed and frosted. On the base of one of the stands is a beautiful group of a fox with her cubs, and on the other a THE QUORN HUNT. 47 hound IS exemplified running with a breast- high scent.
