MR. J. CORBET— 1801. 31 



for half an hour in that cover, we killed him. Drew the 

 covers over the road, and found several foxes ; we got one 

 away in a short time, and after running him for three 

 quarters of an hour, he was turned up near the London 

 road leading to Coventry. 



Feb. 28. — Our apjjointment, this morning, was Hall Park 

 Wood. A fox which we found in that cover led us through 

 the plantations by Combe Abbey, to High Wood ; from 

 thence to Bretford, Brinklow, and All Oaks ; and to King's 

 Newnham. Across the Cathorn-lane to Easenhall, Little 

 Harborough, and to Newbold Field. On to Church Over, 

 Cesters Over, Street Field, and Walton ; then through 

 Willey plantations to Lutterworth Cross Hands, and to 

 Bitteswell Gorse. Crossed Lutterworth Fields, Ashby-par- 

 Claybrook, to Willesthorpe ; and we killed our fox, in most 

 famous style, in Frolesworth Field, one mile and a half from 

 Whetstone Gorse, and one of Mr. Meynell's covers. 



The fox ran full ten miles in the county of Leicester, and 

 the whole length of the run was more than IQ miles. Tifter 

 in every respect behaved the best to-day. 



Monday, March "2. — Met at Wainbody Wood, and drew 

 it without finding. In trying Ryton Wood, a fox, after 

 a few rings in the covers near, ran at a pretty fast pace, to 

 Frankton Wood ; on running through a small portion of 

 that cover we had reynard among the hounds, expecting 

 every moment to kill him j but he broke away for Princeps 

 Wood, and on to Shuckburgh Caps, where he was turned 

 up, after a remarkably quick run of an hour and three 

 quarters. 



March 5. — The appointment, to-day, was at Frankton 

 Wood, where wc found. The fox ran off, at his best pace.
