24 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



went away over Chesterton Grounds for Itchington Heath : 

 over the finest part of the Vale, pointing for Farnborough ; 

 he then ran through the spinies under Edge Hill, for Mr. 

 Miller's, at Radway — and, after haiiging a short time in 

 those covers, the fox was so much beat that he was killed.

Dec. 12. — Found reynard at home at Black Marton, 

 this morning ; he instantly went away for Itchington Grove,

 here, and after running three hours and twenty minutes, 

 we killed near to Lord Willoughbv's house. 



Dec. 13. — We drew Hatton Rock, and Hampton Wood,

 went away for Austey Wood, which he brushed quickly 

 through, and then passed Henley to the left. He then 

 led us across the great road, a mile and a half on the 

 other side of that town, running straight for Mockley and 

 Holdbro', but skirting those covers, he made for Studley, 

 and then forward for Spernal Park, near which place we 

 lost him, after a run of two hours and twenty minutes,

Dec. 20. — The hounds threw off this morning at Welles- 

 bourne Wood, but they did not find till we got to Walton ;
