46 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



one brace from Scruton, and the fifth from 

 near Kirkby Fleetham, the latter being 

 pulled down near Morton Bridge, having 

 crossed the Swale, and gone up to Thrintoft 

 village. 



Mr. Milbank remarks ' ' I never in my 

 experience ever remember killing five foxes 

 in one day before ; which would certainly 

 be too many in most parts of the country, but 

 we left plenty, both at Solberg and Scruton. 



11th November. Met at Middleton-Tyas. 

 Found in the Plantations there, and running 

 by the Quarry ''earths,'' went direct to 

 Uckerby Whin, where hounds killed their fox. 

 Before they had time to break it up, away 

 with another on the north east side, by North 

 Cowton village, over the railway to the end 

 of Beverley Wood ; took a big turn up the 

 river Tees towards Neasham, turned back 

 and killed the fox near Entercommon, after 

 a splendid run of one and a half hours. 



14th December. Met at Butcher Bar. 

 Found in Chaplin's Whin, across to Low Park 

 Wood, and leaving it on the left turned up 

 to Holly Hill, and ran up Snape Park 

 wall (The Belts) to Binsoe Lane. Then past 

 Binsoe village down to Aldburgh ; crossed 

 the river Yore, and ran straight on to the 

 north end of Nutwith Common, bore back 

 towards Hackfall, then again on to Nutwith 

 Common, into Hutt's Gill, across it on to 

 the moors again, and turning northwards, 

 hounds had to be stopped as it was nearly 

 dark. A very fast run, and a ten mile point.
