THE REV. JOHN RUSSELL. 145 



Nevertheless, in order to represent the man 

 in his true colours, and show that, as a hunts- 

 man, he was equally good all round, a few 

 only of his most remarkable runs — brilliant with 

 a burning scent, line-hunting with moderate, or, 

 again, with a cold and catching scent — have 

 been selected for that purpose. 



Late in the autumn of 1828, the fixture 

 being Broadbury Castle, Russell and his little 

 ones met with a greeting such as few have 

 received and he could never forget — grips of 

 welcome on every side from the large held 

 assembled to hunt with him in that wild country. 

 Conspicuous among the Worthies of Devon 

 and Cornwall were J. M. Woolcombe, of Ash- 

 bury ; "Gallant Tom Phillipps," of Landue ; 

 the late lamented baronet Sir Walter Carew ; 

 W. Coryton, of Pentillie ; F. and J. Glanville, 

 of Catchfrench ; Arthur Harris, of Hayne ; 

 Captain M. Louis ; Paul O. Treby, of Gooda- 

 moor ; H. Bourchier Wrey, a gentleman always 

 well mounted, and from his spurs to his hat 

 neat as a new pin ; L. Buck, of IMoreton ; 

 Whyte, of Pilton ; Erving Clarke, of Buckland 

 Tout Saints ; W. Gurney, of Bratton-Clovelly ; 

 and Moore-Stevens, of Cross. 



Russell, as it happened, was short of horses 

 on that occasion ; but as luck and good fellow- 

 ship would have it, he was gloriously mounted 

 by a friend in need, Mr. Arthur Harris,
