went on to Marton 5 bearing still to the left he ran through 

 SirT. Biddulph's gorse, to the village of Frankton ; he now 

 turned short back by Bourton, on for East Leamington ; by 

 that place, and through Debdale, and on towards Marston 

 Grounds, where we left him. 



BY ANONYMOUS.— DEC. 2. 



On this day the Warwickshire hounds had the most 

 brilliant run that has been known to the country for years. 

 The fine dog pack met at Ilmington Village in the morning, 

 intending to draw the covert at Foxcote ; but this intention 

 was abandoned, upon the complaints of some of the farmers 

 near Meon Hill that they were annoyed by a fox which had 

 frequented that part, and which was as well known to them 

 as old Cffisar to the Sportsmen in the county of Durham, 

 from his having been coursed regularly once a week for the 

 last two months, for which he did not care the least, as they 

 had not the slightest chance with him. 



As soon as the hounds had got to Meon Hill, and had 

 drawn one or two little plantations, there was a halloo to the 

 left of a fox gone away. The hounds immediately went to 

 it, and got away close to him on most capital terms, taking 

 the bottom of the hill, and then pointing his way for the 

 beautifiU vale of Evesham. 



Leaving Lower Quinton on his right, Lower Pebworth 

 on his left, through Marston Grounds, over the brook, just 

 skirting Marston Village on his left, and Dorsington on his 

 right, and thence for Hullington Farm, where he found 

 himself distressed, and tried threading two or three of the 

 farm yards and out-buildings, but without avail.
