MR. RUSSELL.— 1832. 241 



HOUNDSHILL, MARCH 26. 



Drew the Pastures, and killed a vixen fox. Found 

 another in the Pastures, that led us off to Fir Grove ; left 

 it to the right, and went straight to the Grove, and through 

 the Park up to Idlicote, where he took to ground. Then 

 we returned to Brickhill Gorse, and found again. Our 

 fox led us away for Harwood's-house, and up to Lord 

 Northampton's ; then over the warren to Gilks's Gorse, 

 and on to Wichford-wood. The hounds were stopped here, 

 as it was getting towards night. 



WALTON WOOD, MARCH 31. 



The hounds found a fox at Bowshot. It was a bad 

 day, no scent, and therefore no hunting. This meet closed 

 the season 1831-32. 



Cub-hunting began August the 25th, and ended on the 

 29th of October. 



The hounds hunted five days a week ; they were never 

 known to be in better condition. The men were well 

 mounted, and the foxes plentiful. 



The first meet, this season, was on November the 1st, 

 1832, at Upton. 



Drew the Hill, where we found an old fox, and killed 

 him in a few minutes. Found a second, an old one, and 

 turned him up near Upton. Found a third fox, and ran 

 him to Kineton-holt, and he took to groimd at Knoll-end.
