70 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



for half an hour over Lord Aylesford's Park, when it was 

 discovered we were running a vixen, and the hounds were 

 instantly stopped. We very soon found another, and after 

 hvinting up to him, had a capital run over a great extent of 

 country for four hours, and killed him, at length, in Close 

 Wood. 1 



March 29- — Met at Newnham, and then drew all the 

 covers near that place, and Alloaks, without finding. We 

 afterwards found a brace of foxes in Highwood ; ran one 

 and killed him in Lord Craven's Park. Found two or 

 three other foxes in the rides, but as the day was now so 

 very bad, and we were repeatedly changing, the hounds 

 were stopped. 2 



March 30. — Hunted at Bodington Wood ; found at 

 Wroxall, and soon killed our fox. Drew Haywood without 

 a find ; but we had better luck at Frogmore Wood, where 

 we hit on a fox that led us away, at a very quick pace, for 

 Haywood, forward for Bushwood, over the great road near 

 Henley ; he then left Barrells to the right, and we killed 

 him in a stone-pit near Spernall Park, after a run of more 

 than 20 miles. 



Monday, April 1. — Hunted, to-day, at Princethorpe 

 Wood, and drew that cover, blank. We found immediately 

 in the Bull and Butcher Wood, ran our fox for an hour, and 



1 Mr. Cattell's horse was so completely done up, that lie had great 

 difficulty in getting him home ; he was not in at the end of the run. 



2 Mr. Corbet got into a chaise at Clopton this morning at six, and 

 was at Coventry by eight ; he then rode his horse Bilbeny, in one hour, 

 from that place to Newnham.
