222 THE CONDITION OF HUNTERS 



I have never had an overreach since I have used 

 these shoes, but I frequently see them when the pre- 

 caution is omitted. A gentleman (Major Pester) 

 had his horse very much cut a short time since with 

 Mr Villebois's hounds ; but on my asking him the 

 question, I found the edge of the shoe was not bevelled 

 off.
