Short tn 1844, 87 



March 4th, 1884 : Went to Caldwell to meet the Duke 

 of Cleveland's Staghounds, but found out that my servant had 

 made a mistake, the Duke being at Killerby. 



March 5th : Met Hurworth at Entercommon and found at 

 Blackett's Whin. He went out at the South side of the whin ; 

 turned to Appleton Wiske, then to the right and past Welbury 

 and Rounton, and was run into in the open near Haggett Hill 

 after a beautiful burst of 30 minutes ; pace very fast, country 

 heavy. Tried Beverley Wood and found immediately a brace 

 of foxes. The hounds took the worst line. When they were 

 got off they were unable to run the other on account of the 

 scent being foiled by three hounds, which had got away with 

 the first fox. After running him slowly to Pepper Hall Plant- 

 ations I left them. 



March 28th, 1844 : Met Hurworth at Cleasby. Drew 

 Howden Hills blank. Found at Brettonby and after a sharp 

 burst towards Howden Hills he was lost. Drew Sowerby's 

 Plantations blank, and went to Sir W. Chaytor's and found in 

 the wood. He went to Halnaby, where he was headed and 

 turned for Allan's Whin but at the road he was headed again. 

 He then ran past the brick kilns and over the hill, and crossed 

 the brook half way between Kirkbanks and Middleton Tyas, 

 where he turned to the left to Moulton. He crossed the lane 

 near the end of the village and pointed direct for where the old 

 whin was, but was headed from it and killed within two fields 

 of Scurrah House. This was a very fast run, the fox never 

 being far before them and twice in the same field with the 

 hounds. 



April Qth : Entercommon. Found in Beverley Wood. 

 Ran him up to the eastward of Hornby and Blackett's Whin, 

 over the stell and into a country which I did not know. Found
