MR. J. CORBET— 1802. 51 



through that cover, when he was unexpectedly lost within 

 two fields of it ; it was supposed he got into a drain ; this 

 was a run of half an hour. Afterwards, we found three 

 foxes in Lord Willoughby's gorse ; and ran one of them 

 very quick for Chadshunt, and over Itchington Heath on 

 for Ladbroke ; over the Watergall fields on to Bodington ; 

 and after a fine run of two hours, over a most beautiful 

 country, we killed our fox near Bodington Hill, much to 

 the satisfaction of every Sportsman who had the good luck 

 to witness the run. 1 



Feb. 10. — Found this morning at Farnborough, soon 

 after we put the hounds into the gorse at that place. The 

 fox shortly broke away, and after hunting him an hour he 

 returned to the cover where he was found, and there killed. 

 A second fox was found near to Mr. Miller's, at Radway, 

 that led us over the country for Lord Guildford's, at 

 Wroxton, and then pointed forward over the grounds from 

 that place ; and, after a quick run for above an hour, we 

 earthed him at Long Shutford Hill. 



Feb. 9,2. — Met at Alveston Pastures, and drew that 

 cover, Alscot new cover, Eatington and the other gorses. 

 Lord Willoughby's new cover, and we found, at last, at 

 Itchington Heath. We had then a capital run over a very 

 fine country for one hour and 40 minutes, and after hunting 

 him to Upton, the hounds killed him at Mr. Miller's, at 

 Radway. 2 



1 The sport could not be better, and the distance of the run was 

 18 miles from the cover where the fox was found. 



2 This was a fine day's sport ; the best horses had quite enough of 

 it, and many of them were quite done up.
