FOOTNOTES:
[1] This coach was managed and driven by Captain Laurie and Captain Haworth.
[2] This mare was in the English stud-book under the name of the “Lawyer’s Daughter.”
[3] It is always desirable that the wheelers should start the load, as the leaders, if free starters, may jump into their work, and either spring a bar or bring the coach so suddenly on the wheel-horses that the trial may be too great for the weight of their heels.
[4] Silver-mounted harness, with red morocco collars.
[5] Heavy road parcels were frequently stowed underneath the coach upon a swinging shelf, called “the cellar.”
[6] Possibly tied to it.
[7] Corresponding with Tally-ho in fox-hunting, to announce a view.
[8] Russell’s waggons took twelve days between Falmouth and London, drawn by eight powerful horses—the driver riding a pony.
[9] A part of the waggon kept for passengers.
[10] The term “shouldering” referred to many short shillings which were not put upon the way-bill, consequently perquisites of coachmen and guards.
[11] So primitive was the manner in which draught-horses were used that I know an instance of horses being attached to a plough by the hair of their tails.
[12] The requisition fee for a party in those days was accompanied by the tender of a guinea to the officer in command.
