MR. J. CORBET.— 1802. 45 



to some others, a Sportsman put out a fox as he was going 

 over a hedge ; every hound viewed him, and after a quick 

 run for two miles, he went into a small rabbit hole. He 

 was soon got out, and turned up again, when he gave us 

 another quick run for half an hour ; he was killed near to 

 Mr. Miller's, at Radway. 



Dec. 29. — Met at Oakley Wood ; the cover had been 

 disturbed, and a good fox had gone away before the hounds 

 had got to it ; we hunted him, but he had been gone too 

 long, and we were obliged to give him up. In trying 

 Chesterton Wood we found another fox, which immediately 

 made away for Lighthorne, and then on for Chadshunt ; 

 over the vale pointing for Farnborough, and forward for 

 Mr. Miller's, of Radway, when a storm of snow caused 

 us to lose our fox. 1 We then drew Kineton Gorse, but 

 did not find until we came to Walton Wood ; the day was 

 now so bad, that it was impossible for the hounds to follow 

 their fox. 



Wednesday, January 20. 2 — The hounds hunted this 

 day at Snitterfield, and drew that cover, but did not find 

 until they got to Austey Wood. In that cover we found 

 two or three foxes ; hunted one away pointing for Green's 

 Grove ; he then took a turn in the Claverdon covers, and 

 went forward for Bushwood. After a good hunting run of 

 two hours, across a heavy country, we lost our fox near 

 Haywood. 



1 This run lasted for two hours and ten minutes, and we killed our 

 fox ten miles from the place where he was found. 



2 The frost, which continued for some time, kept us out of tlie fiehl 

 until it broke up.
