MR. J. CORBET— 1805. 71 



killed him. In a very short time, we hit upon another fox, 

 hunted him over the country for almost two hours, and lost 

 him near Ufton Wood ; the fox, certainly, went into that 

 cover. 



The hounds came in the morning from Meriden, on 

 their way to Stratford. 



April 4. — In drawing Spernall Park, this morning, we 

 found a brace of foxes. One of them was soon away for 

 Aston village, and turned to the left for Alne Wood ; then 

 on to Austey Wood, and from that cover quick to Aston 

 Grove ; by Withycombe Wood, to Woosley Wood, where 

 we had up a brace of foxes ; we hunted one to the mill near 

 Alcester, and there we lost him. This run was two hours 

 and forty minutes. 



April 6. — Hunted at Coton Park, and drew that cover 

 and Three Oaks, blank. Found a fox at Weadley Wood ; 

 he went through the covers that had been previously drawn, 

 leaving Ragley House to the right ; then as far as the 

 turnpike road that joins Coton Park, and back to the cover 

 he was found in. Away from that cover to Rouse Lench, 

 then for Tire Mills, through those covers, and over the 

 country to within two miles of Evesham. After a good 

 hunting run of three hours and a half, by the scent dying 

 away, he was lost at Cleave Mill. 



The hunting finished for the season, on Saturday the 

 20th of April, when the meet was at Preston Bushes. They 

 had a good day's sport. 



The hounds left Stratford on the following Monday for 

 Shropshire,
