November 18th, The Kennels.— A lot of foxes at the Holt, Oak Fields and 

 Gorse, but they would not go away. Were holloaed on to a fox from Frog 

 Hall Osiers, and ran him very pretty by Kineton Village, Oak Fields, to the 

 Holt, where we stayed some time ; away, and ran nearly to Pillerton Gorse, 

 where the fox was chased by a cur, and we lost him.
