The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 41 



1839—40. 15th January. Met at York 

 Gate. After a nice gallop in the morning 

 from Baldersby Whin, by Ainderby Quernhow 

 and Pickhill, ran to ground in the Swale 

 banks by Maunby ferry. Found a fox in 

 the Lad^^'s Gorse at Norton Conyers which

 the right, went due north over Tunstall Moor 

 to Colburn village, down to, and across the
