342 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Jan. 9. — A very fair day's sport was afforded by the 

 Warwickshire on this day, when the meet was at Epwell 

 White House. There was a very good field out, and the 

 hounds having been thrown into the coverts at Lord Nor- 

 thampton's, soon unkenneled a prime fox, which led us 

 gallantly away direct to Mr. Thornhill's gorse, passed 

 Hell Brake, and then pointed for Brailes. Leaving that 

 village to the right, he led us on at a good hunting pace to 

 Sibbard, where we killed him, after a run of one hour and 

 15 minutes.

EATINGTON VILLAGE, JAN. 10. 



We met, this morning, at Eatington Village, and drew 

 Eatington Gorse, where we found a fox, ran him for ten 

 minutes about the grove, and then lost him. We next drew 

 Alveston Pastures, where we quickly unkenneled, and ran 

 our game through Fir Grove, and across Mr. West's New 

 Plantations. Here turned to the right and went straight 

 nearly to Alderminster, but ran to ground in a drain under 

 Churchill Farm ; we got him out and killed him. 



We returned to Alveston Pastures, and were not dis- 

 appointed in our hopes that this favorite cover would afford 

 us a good finale to the day's sport. The pack very soon 

 unkenneled the third fox, and he led us gallantly away 

 through Fir Grove, on to Houndshill, then nearly to Oakum 

 Farm, where he turned to the left, leaving Loxley Village 

 to the right, and again took shelter in the Pastures. W^e 

 did not suffer him to remain here long, and had no sooner 

 driven him out than he again dashed off by the Heath Farm, 

 where he turned short to the left, and brushed, at a good 

 pace, through Fir Grove.
