62 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Nov. 28. — Hunted at Wichford Wood, and found at 

 Rollright Gorse ; the fox broke away for Wichford, through 

 that cover, and over the open country until he got into a 

 drain near Rollright Heath ; bolted him, and ran him for 

 near an hour, the first part very quick, and we killed him on 

 the hill half way between Long Compton turnpike and 

 Barton Grove, 



Monday, December 3. — The appointment, to-day, was 

 at Ufton Wood, where we soon found a brace of foxes. 

 One of them went almost directly away, taking over an 

 extent of country within a short distance of Shuckburgh ; 

 here he was so much pressed that he turned off to Sir T. 

 Wheeler's, and from that place forward until he got near 

 to Sir T. Biddulph's, and then he ran through Frankton 

 Wood. The hounds got well up to their fox at Princethorpe 

 Wood, and ran him, very quick, to Ryton Wood, when he 

 pointed for the Combe covers, until he was headed on the 

 great road within three miles of Coventry. He then went 

 for Baginton, over the earths, and near to Stoneleigh Park ; 

 then for the road leading from Kenilworth to Coventry, and 

 crossed it about half way from each place ; then he ran 

 through the Danvats cover, and away to Weston Heath, 

 but the hounds did not mark their fox. 1 



Dec. 7. — ^We found a fox at Wellesbourne Pastures ; 

 he broke cover in view, and after crossing Wellesbourne 

 Wood, made for Walton, and then passed by Compton, 

 pointing for Edge Hill ; when about half a mile to the right 

 of Kineton, he turned by Oxhill to Pillerton, and after 

 passing near Black Marton and over Eatington Park, crossed 



1 This was a fine day's sport, as the hounds ran for more than 

 40 miles.
