126 THE WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. [1836 



wood for an hour aud killed liim. Found a second fox 

 at Itchington Heath, ran to Chesterton aud back to the 

 Heath, thence through Graydon Spinneys and byNorthend, 

 over the Burton Hills to Farnborough. Leaving that 

 place to the right, our fox went on to Cropredy, and thence 

 to Bourton and Claydon, where he was lost owing to a 

 false halloo, after a hunting run of three hours and forty- 

 five minutes. 



It is recorded that during a good run from Print Hill at 

 this time, Mr. John Biddulph and several others jumped 

 the river Leam when very high, between Dupper's Bridge 

 and Thorpe's Bridge. 



On the last day of the season, April 4th, 1835, during 

 another run from Print Hill, the hounds crossed a brook 

 near Weston Mill so flooded that there was from sixteen to 

 eighteen yards of water. Mr. Charles Eussell rode at it, 

 and his mare jumped as far as she could in, and then rolled 

 over on to her side owing to the force of the current. Mr. 

 Russell was carried away by it, and only reached the land 

 with great difficulty, and amidst the cheers of the 

 spectators remounted his mare, which had swam out. He 

 came up to the hounds at Cubbington Wood, and after 

 running through Weston and Waverley Woods the fox 

 was killed near Eyton by two couples and a half of hounds 

 only, the remainder having gone after a fresh fox. Mr. 

 Eussell threw the fox across his horse, and found the field 

 and huntsman with the rest of the pack running the fresh 

 fox in Waverley Wood. 



The hounds were out on lOG days during the season of 

 1834-1835, and killed and accounted for eighty -three foxes.
