Lord Hatherton's Journal, 11th August, 1841

Lord Lichfield has given Lady Lichfield complete authority to dispose of whatever she pleases in order to relieve his great embarrassment. Nothing could be more touching than a scene I witnessed between them. She seemed thoroughly to have forgiven him all his offences and said with pride, "He now owns the wisdom of the advice I have so frequently given him. He has placed all his race horses in my hands and I have placed them in Tattershalls", and she added then with energy, but still looking affectionately at Lichfield, "and if they cannot be sold, they shall be shot".
