The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 59 



delay ; hitting him off on the south side of 

 the village, they hunted on well to Pill Moor, 

 over the Moor to Raskelf Common, where 

 we were beat — the railroads bothering us 

 considerably. A good run of nearly nine 

 miles from point to point. 



On the 22nd February, Mr. Milbank men- 

 tions having found a mangy fox in Hollin 

 Head Wood, near Breckamore. 



1854—55. 20th November. Met at Bedale. 



Although a large circle, the following was 

 over a nice country, and must have been a 

 good hunt under some difficulties. 



Found in Hornby Park Whin, and ran 

 straight to Catterick Lime Kilns, then turning 

 west ran past Tunstall and Scotton whins 

 to Newfound-England. Here a large flock 

 of moor sheep, smelling horribly of grease 

 and tar, caused a somewhat lengthy check. 

 Hitting the line again, hounds ran across 

 the gill — towards Hipswell — and leaving the 

 Woods on the left, turned back to the Brough 

 coverts, and on to Lime Kilns ; where the 

 fox being headed in every direction, he was 

 lost. A good hunting run of two and a 

 quarter hours. 



On the 15th December, Mr. Milbank had 

 a hound killed on the railway at Hutton 

 Bonville cutting ; at which place it is 

 marvellous that more hounds are not lost, 

 especially at the present day, when trains run 

 more frequently and there are so many 

 expresses, which at this point are running at 

 a high rate of speed.
