About to begin the inquisition of the poacher who is standing in front of him with his straw hat down by his side, he is looking rather sheepish & apologetic with his head paftly lowered looking at the Lord. Standing next to him is the lords gamekeeper who is holding upside down a dead hare and is in deep conversation talking to the Lord, explaining how he caught the poacher. Lower down are the lords dogs a pug dog & Irish Lurcher standing on the green rug. Further over to the right 2 servants are peaking watching so curiosly with great eagerness through the partly opened door.
