Lichfield.
_The Marquis of Granby_ (Vol. ix., p. 127.).--A portrait of this nobleman
constitutes the sign of a public-house at Doncaster, and of another at
Bawtry, nine miles from that town. His lordship, it is said, occasionally
occupied Carr House, near the former place, as a hunting-box in the middle
of the last century. As an instance of his lordship's popularity, I may
here add, that out of compliment to him, and for his greater convenience in
hunting, at a period when there was a considerable extent of uninclosed and
undrained country around Doncaster, the corporation directed several banks
and passages to be made on their estate at Rossington; and in 1752, that
body likewise presented the Marquis with the freedom of the borough.
