In December, 1900, Viscount Cranborne in the House of Commons reported as follows: * That regulations for the preservation of wild animals have been in force for some time in the several African Protectorates administered by the Foreign Office as well as in the Sudan.
There are three obvious ways of approaching Salisbury from Shaftesbury and the west: by railway from Semley; by the main road, part of the great trunk highway from London to Exeter via Yeovil; and by a kind of loop road that leaves this at Whitesand Cross and follows the valley of the Ebble between the lonely hills of Cranborne Chase and the long line of chalk downs that have their escarpment to the north, overlooking the Exeter road.
That's why I'm so late. There's no doubt about it, Eric! Mr. Cranborne told me as a banker that he was prepared to honour the cheque is that the phrase? as being signed by Jack on that day. What does it mean, Eric? I want you to explain it all." A voluble waiter was gesticulating and seeking instructions about the wine. "Oh, open it now!" Eric exclaimed without turning round.
Then we fell to talking of the burning of the City; and my Lady Carteret herself did tell us how abundance of pieces of burnt papers were cast by the wind as far as Cranborne; and among others she took up one, or had one brought her to see, which was a little bit of paper that had been printed, whereon there remained no more nor less than these words: "Time is, it is done."
We went across Charing Cross Road by way of Cranborne Street, past Leicester Square, through Coventry Street and up the Quadrant and Regent Street. At Oxford Circus the Jew's cab led us to the left, and along Oxford Street we chased it past Bond Street end. Suddenly my cab pulled up with a jerk, and the driver spoke through the trapdoor.
Then with our coach of four horses I hire on purpose, and Leshmore to ride by, we through the City to Branford and so to Windsor, Captain Ferrers overtaking us at Kensington, being to go with us, and here drank, and so through, making no stay, to Cranborne, about eleven o'clock, and found my Lord and the ladies at a sermon in the house; which being ended we to them, and all the company glad to see us, and mighty merry to dinner.
In a letter to Cranborne, dated 2nd July 1605, he suggested that England never lost so great an opportunity of winning honour and wealth as by relinquishing the war with Spain, and that Philip and his kingdom "were reduced to such a state as they could not in all likelihood have endured for the space of two years more."
Dicke Vines's brother, for helping him to be a purser, valued at about L10, the first thing of that nature I did ever give her. Great fears we have that the plague will be a great Bill this weeke. 15th. Here I hear that news is brought Sir G. Carteret that my Lord Hinchingbrooke is not well, and so cannot meet us at Cranborne to-night.
McNeill indignantly denied the charge: then Mr. Macartney attributed them to Mr. Sexton another and equally indignant denial; and then much uproar and contradictions and apologies the lubberly and unmannerly interventions of Lord Cranborne as usual conspicuous and, finally, the end of the storm in a teacup.
But Lord Cranborne, then Under-Secretary of State, said in the House of Commons that "the outcry which was made in this matter I think it a very ill-informed outcry made it exceedingly difficult for us to get the terms we required."
