Burton, Sydney Smith and Whittington had performed well on the previous tour and were arguably the best of the amateurs.
The tourists lost the first two matches against Barbados by an innings but then defeated a West Indies XI with Humphreys taking 13 wickets.
In the second match against the West Indies XI, Ince made 167 for the home side and they won by an innings.
Given out by the umpire, he appealed to Somerset and was allowed to continue his innings, a sporting gesture by the captain.
Burton and the captain added 89 for the last wicket in the MCC second innings and were only separated with 20 minutes remaining.
