MR. J. CORBET— 1801. 29 



broke away for the covers near Frizhill, where we had 

 him among the hounds for several minutes. He then ran 

 for Sir John Mordaunt's Terrace, where he was most 

 unaccountably lost, the hounds close at his brush. 



Feb. 7. — Met at Haywood. Before a hound spoke, a fox 

 went away, first pointing for Green's Grove, and on for 

 Honiley ; then through Hell Kitchen, by the farther end of 

 Bedington's Wood, through Long Meadow Wood, and the 

 other covers pointing for Stoneleigh ; over Weston Heath, 

 through the covers on the other side of it, when leaving 

 Tile Hill to the left, he stood on to Horsley, within a mile of 

 Coventry. Being headed back to Tile Hill, he passed on 

 through the cover, and very near to Berkcswell ; here he 

 was very much distressed, and so dead beat that he was 

 obliged to stop for breath in the middle of a field, and 

 was killed in a small cover near Tile Hill, after a most 

 severe run of an hour and three quarters, the hounds not 

 being once cast. 



This run was supposed to have been very near twenty 

 miles. 



Feb. 19. — The hounds met at Uftou, and found as soon 

 as they entered the cover. The fox, after taking a turn in 

 the wood, ran at a very fast rate to Chesterton Wood, to 

 Lighthorne, Chadshunt, Itchington Heath, and over the 

 vale to Farnborough ; after a very good run of seventeen 

 miles over the country, the fox was lost from a snow storm 

 coming on. 



This ended the last day in the Vale for the Season, after 

 some capital sport. 



Feb. 21. — This day the hounds left Stratford for Meriden. 

 They threw off at Stoneleigh Abbey, and drew the covers
