20 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



The hounds had now himted three weeks at Meridcn, 

 and killed five brace of foxes ; and out of that number six 

 were old ones. 



The hounds left Meriden, for Stratford, on Monday the 

 3d of November. 



Nov. 5. — Our first meet from Stratford, this season, was 

 at Frizhill. We soon fovmd a fox that took away to Walton 

 Terrace, and then returned to the cover in which we found 

 him. He then went over Lord Willoughby's grounds to 

 the bridge near the house, where, from the scent being so 

 bad, he was lost, after running an hour. We then drew 

 Chadshunt gorse, and Itchington Heath, without finding, 

 both covers having been disturbed by the shooters. We 

 then went back to Lighthorne, and found a fox in the small 

 cover J he soon made away for Frizhill, and from that place 

 on to Lord Willoughby's plantations ; he then took an 

 extensive ring for an hour and ten minutes, with a good 

 scent, and was killed just as he was going out of Lighthorne 

 cover. 



Nov. 7. — Found a fox at Ufton Wood, that ran rings in 

 cover for some time, and was killed without breaking away. 

 The hoimds hunted other foxes in the cover for near an 

 hour, but the scent being so bad, and the cover stained, the 

 hounds were drawn away. On being next thrown into Mr. 

 Palmer's spinies, at Ladbroke, the hounds did not find 

 until they drew an ozier bed near the brook, when they 

 unkenneled a brace of foxes. After running one extensive 

 ring for near two hours, the hunted fox was lost, entirely 

 owing to the great want of scent, and the unfavourable 

 state of the weather. The hounds behaved particularly 

 well to day.
