Penny Mortimer, an occasional huntswoman, has also received envelopes filled with excrement at their Buckinghamshire home. Sir John, famous for his best-selling novel Rumpole of the Bailey, has been the target of vicious anonymous telephone calls because of his open defence of fox-hunting. PA Photo by Neil Munns.
