A little to our right, as we came along, we left the village of KIMSTON, where SQUIRE GRAEME once lived, as was before related. Here, too, lived a 'SQUIRE RIDGE, a famous fox-hunter, at a great mansion, now used as a farm-house; and it is curious enough, that this 'SQUIRE'S son-in-law, one GUNNER, an attorney at Bishop's Waltham, is steward to the man who now owns the estate.
