308 THE WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. [18'J5 



October 'M)th, 1S4S, lie met tlie stagliouncls on Exmocjr, at 

 Simmond's bath : " Found in the South Forest, ran very fast 

 to Long Wood, tlien turned to Sandyway, over Withypool 

 Common to Lanacre Bridge, back over the moor to 

 Simmond's bath, and killed in the river near Cox Castle. 

 Good run, dut not fo,jchmiiing!'' They were stopped hunting 

 in Leicestershire this season for ten days, from the 2nd to 

 the 10th of January, 1S49. Li 1849-50 he did not hunt 

 with the Warwickshire, but in 1850-51 he had twelve days 

 with them, from March 10th to April 4th. Li 1851-5.2 

 we expect Sir Walter's nerve was not quite what it was in 

 his bruising days, for we find him with the Duke of 

 Beaufort on thirty-two days, hunting, I think, from 

 Chencester. Li 1852-53 he did not come up from Devon- 

 shire to Kineton House till March 1st or 2nd, but from 

 that date to the 14tli of April he put in twenty-one days 

 with the Warwickshire, two days with Squire Drake, one

 of Beaufort. In 1853-54 he had twenty- two days in 

 Warwickshire from Kineton House, beginning on 

 February 6th, and ending on the 14th of March, and one 

 good clay with Squire Drake from Bodclington, He seems

 February, the Warwickshire met at Broughton Castle, 

 found at Grulliver's Crorse, and ran to Wiggington Heath — 

 earthed. 



Another fox went away, and they had a very good run 

 to Worton Heath, in the Heythrop country, and earthed. 

 On Friday, February 24th, they met at Wroxton ; found, 

 ran fast to a drain, bolted, and killed. Found again in 

 Upton Gorse, ran fast, and lost ; a good day. In 1854-55 

 he began at Wolford Wood on February 28th, and hunted 

 twenty days with the Warwickshire to the 3rd of April, and 

 had good sport, and two days with Scpiire Drake. On 

 October 6th, 1855, there is a very characteristic entry: 

 " Warwickshire, Farnborough.^ — Found and lost ; found

 was a remarkably good horse. A brown horse, perhaps
