MR. J. CORBET— 1801. 



Jan. '22. — We met at Farnborough, and found a fox in 

 the gorse, and after running him half a mile he went to 

 ground in a drain, in the middle of a large field. Having 

 bolted him in view of the hounds, he ran us for two hours 

 and a half, with a good hunting scent, over the finest

 in this cover there were two foxes, and the hoiinds dividing 

 they ran one sharply back to Wellesbourne Wood, over 

 Mr. Lucy's park, where the fox earthed near the river, 

 after a severe run of two hours. On returning to Walton, 

 we found again, and the hounds had rvm him for an hour, 

 at a slapping rate, when he was lost in consequence of Mr. 

 Gould's servant very improperly pressing the hounds. 



Monday, Feb. 2. — Itchington Heath was our meet, to 

 day ; and we drew that cover, and then Ladbroke Spinies, 

 without success. We shortly afterwards, however, found 

 three foxes at Ufton Wood ; two of them were soon
