MFH & MP

Here is an update on the letter I posted a couple of days ago. Another DT reader, Mr. John A. Ball of East Sussex, has written today: Sir, Roger Mason was correct to offer a Master of Foxhounds as a referee for his shotgun licence. In his Palliser novels, Trollope sets out the order of precedence in a county: first, the Lord Lieutenant, second, the Master of Foxhounds and only third, the MP.
