MR. TliORNHILL— 1833. 269 



Only five saw anything of itj Mr. Thornhill, Mr. 

 Woodward, Mr. Smith, Will Boxall, and Tom Day. He 

 took a line straight for Pcbworth, seven miles from Ilraing- 

 ton, and was run into in the open on Rumour Hills, eight 

 miles from Pebworth ; his course over the beautiful dale of 

 Evesham being most magnificent. 1 



THE SAME, RY WHOO-WHOOP. 



The Field met on the above day at Ilmington, where 

 they were told of a fox being at Colman's Gorsc, Meon-hill. 

 Upon drawing the covert we found, and pug went away by 

 Garrett's Brow, leaving Mickleton to the left, and bearing 

 on for Pebworth. Left that place to the right, and went on 

 for Evesham ; turned short back by Hullington, and then 

 straight to Rumour-hill, where we killed him. 



This was one of the best runs I ever saw in my life, 

 and lasted one hour and five minutes, without the slightest 

 interruption. 



Dec. 7. — The hounds met the Field at Birdingbury, and 

 we soon vmkennelcd at Debdalc, when our fox led us fast 

 away by East Leamington, on to Bunker*s-hill ; made his 

 ground good up to Dunchurch, which he passed to the left, 

 and then straight to Crick , where wc ran him to ground, 

 after a run of one hour and 35 minutes, which gave great 

 satisfaction. 



1 Mr. Tlioruhill on his brown liorse Rosby, and Captain Parker 

 on his chestnut horse lately purchased from Mr, Annesley of Clifford, 

 were also up at the death.
