Aug. 7.
Westminster.
35. Licence to William Lord Compton, master of the leash, to take up from any in whose custody they be, as many greyhounds as customary for the Queen's disport, and as many hounds and beagles as he thinks convenient. With writ of assistance therein.
With a later clause in James I.'s time [suggested by Lord Compton] to empower him to seize all hounds and beagles which may be offensive to the game, reserving liberty to such only as he thinks meet, to keep greyhounds, beagles, and hounds; and note from Lord Compton, as follows:—" My meaning is that I would have liberty to take both hounds and beagles, and that no man should keep greyhounds but by my leave and licence, which will be a great preservation unto my game, as well as unto the King's. I pray you therefore let this be written accordingly, and I doubt not but to get the King to sign it, before he meets the Council. [2 sheets, draft, corrected.]
