English citations of Mutand

• 1936, David William Errington Brock, The ABC of Fox-hunting: A Handbook for Beginners, P. Allan, page 103:

  But here they are at the gate of the covert, and there is Mutand, the keeper, gun on shoulder, retriever at side. Hardman turns to Charles and Will, and sends them on to their usual stations. Then he says a few words to Mutand, for etiquette ordains that on the surface, and in public, huntsman and keeper must be on the best of terms, no matter how much they may inwardly loathe or despise one another. Mutand does not like to say in so many words that his traps are sprung, for, officially, Hardman is not supposed to know he sets traps at all[.]
