MR. THORNHILL.— 1834. 287 



Jan. 16. — Met at Butlei'"s Marston Kennel, and found 

 in Pillerton Gorse ; dashed off first to Pillerton, and next 

 to Marston ; passing to the left of the covert at that place, 

 he pointed straight for Lord Willoughby's, through the 

 wood at Marston, and on to Newbold ; left that place to 

 the right and took his course direct to Mr. Court's, of 

 Middle-hill, and then to Warwick Park ; being headed, he 

 turned short back to Oakley-wood ; here we changed our 

 fox, and ran him to Wasperton. As it grew late, we 

 stopped the hounds, not choosing to follow any longer a 

 fresh fox, after so long and severe a run. 



Jan. 21. — The meet, this morning, was at Eatington, 

 and we drew all the coverts, blank. We found reynard at 

 home, however, at Brickhill Gorse, and he led us straight 

 to Pillerton, and there took ground. Bolted him, and he 

 ran to Pillerton, through the gorse, and on to Oxhill. Left 

 that place to the right, and then off to the Sun Rising, at 

 which place he again ran to ground ; bolted him and turned 

 him up in a short time, after a very good day's sport, many 

 of the horses being distressed, and the Field satisfied with 

 the sport afforded them by the excellent maimer in which 

 the hounds held on after their game. 



Jan. 27. — Met at Gaydon Inn, and then drew Gaydon 

 Spinies and Watergall blank. We afterwards found at 

 Radbourne^ when reynard went away to Prior's Hardwick, 

 and from thence to Boddington Gorse ; through the covert, 

 and on to the Farnborough road. Leaving that to the left, 

 he bore down to Watergall, turned here to the left again, 

 and on to Radbourne. Pug now inclined to the right, and 

 went straight to Ladbroke, and then on to Harbury, where 

 the hounds ran into him, after a chase of an hour and 40 

 minutes.
