Nov. 7th, 1861. — Piercebridge : A large field including the 

 Duke of Cleveland out. 



November gth, 1861. — Met at High Worsall Toll Bar. 

 Found in the Whin ; broke at the north end away for Worsall 

 Gills, which he left on his right, and running a ring over 

 Worsall Moor brought us to Picton Plantations ; right through, 

 leaving Picton village on his right, and also Kirklevington Mill, 

 ran down it to a drain near Yarm, which he found stopped ; at

 Worsall Toll Bar Cover, which he passed close by, running 

 forward for Kirklevington, turned for Picton, and ran a ring
