The Eev. William S. Miller's diary {continiicd) .- 



Friday, February Stli. — Raiu uoarly all day. Went out liuntiiig at 

 Arlescote. Had a very good day. Killed a fox at White's Bushes ; went 

 away with a secoud round Sliotteswell Village, back by White's Bushes, 

 across the valley to Horuton, skirting the quarries to Upton, and lost. Found 

 again at Faruborough in the covert near Mollingtou, ran along the terrace by 

 the front of the house, across the road by the ponds, and lost. Went on ta 

 Burton Hills ; found in the gorse. away towards Watergall, Ijack over tlie hill 

 by Burton Church, along the hills towards Avon Da&sett, sunk tlie Vale as if 

 for Arlescote. turned down liy Old Leys and Anderson's, and killed in the 

 orchard at Ireland Farm. Tlie most satisfactory kill I have seen this season. 



Friday, February 22nd. — Very fine and pleasant. Went out hunting at 

 Tysoe; found a very bad fox in the Old Warren, and after dodging about 

 Epwell, Shutford Clump, and Famington, lost him in Epwell Village. Found 

 another bad fox at Upton, and, after running about a bit, killed him. Found 

 again at Sun Rising Gorse, ran by Upton House, turned into the hill by 

 Grove corner, ran along the hill by the Knoll, through Arlescote Wood, sunk 

 the hill across the Vale to Dassctt Hill, leaving Faruborough on the right, to 

 the turupike road, back to Fenny Comptou, where I pulled up, the hounds 

 running on to Knightcote and Bishops Itchington, where they lost. Not a 

 fast run, but nearly as good as anything this season. 



From the Coiiriey, February .28rd, 1861 : 



Mr. Henley Greaves having resigned the mastership of the Warwickshire 

 Hounds, a meeting of the subscribers and owners of coverts was held at the 

 King's Head Inn, Wellesljourne. on Tuesday, when a requisition, signed by 

 all tlie subscriljers present, was forwarded to Lord Willoughby de Broke and 

 Mr. North, requesting them to undertake the management of the hounds. 

 As this has been found to be the wish of the country for some little time, a 

 large attendance was not necessary, and therefore only a few subscribers 

 were present. 



On the last Wednesday of February, lb 01, a meeting was 

 held at Wellesbourne to elect a successor to Mr. Henley 

 Greaves, who had become master of the Yale of Wliite 

 Horse, and Lord Willoughby de Broke and the Hon. W. 

 H. J. Nortli were chosen as joint masters of the hounds, 

 their offer to hunt the country having been accepted with 

 acclamation, as it is always desirable that a master of 

 hounds should belong to the country.
