50 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



Another rather curious incident happened 

 on the 31st January. A fox, found in a 

 willow-bed opposite Maunby, jumped into 

 the river Swale, with two hounds, 'Thunderer' 

 and 'Beauty,' close at him. They fought to 

 the middle of the stream, when the fox was 

 killed, and ' Beauty ' swam with him in her 

 mouth to the opposite side, and pulled him 

 up on the bank. 



13th March. Met at Busby Stoop. Found 

 in Morley's Whin, ran across nearly to Leckby 

 Carr, past Cundall and Humburton, down 

 to Myton pastures, and nearly up to Borough- 

 bridge, where he crossed the river, and 

 hounds went over before they could be 

 stopped. The servants were sent on to get 

 to them, and caught them close to Copgrove. 

 Hounds did not reach kennel till 9 p.m. 



1844—45.* 4th December. Met at Wat- 

 lass. Found near Sir E. Dodsworth's Whin 

 and ran straight to Marriforth Wood, crossed 

 the river at Kilgram Bridge, and direct to 

 High Ellington ; after a slight check here, 

 on to Fearby, then westwards to GoUinglith 

 Foot, and turning south ran over Sourmire, 

 by Pott Hall, into Nidderdale ; marking the 

 fox to ground at Sype-Land Crags (which is 

 above Lofthouses) after a splendid run of 

 seventeen miles, and quite ten miles from 

 point to point. 



1845—46. 9th January. Met at Pepper 

 Hall. After killing a fox from here, and 



* This se£ison, George Cross took Barwick's place as First 

 Whipper-in and Kennel Huntsman.
