72 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



at Brough, but doing nothing there, drew 

 Thornhills, from which place a fox first of 

 all ran a ring out by Hauxwell, then back to the 

 Whin, away from here by the edge of Scotton 

 Moor to Newfound-England, turned from 

 here through Hauxwell and Garriston to 

 Constable Burton ; but the west seemed to 

 be his point, so he turned again, past Bellerby 

 to Leyburn Shawl. He ran the length of 

 this covert, down the hill nearly to Bolton 

 Hall, then retracing his steps went through 

 the west end of the Shawl to Preston Gill, 

 dropped the hill again through Preston village, 

 through the Shawl again, and hounds pulled 

 him down just outside Leyburn, after a good 

 hunt of two hours and thirty-five minutes. 



In November this year, hounds ran a fox 

 to ground in a drain at the back of Grewel- 

 thorpe village. When the terrier was put 

 in, no less than four foxes bolted. 



In February, 1868, Lord Hare wood gave 

 the Hunt a field at Thrintoft, to be sown as 

 a Whin Covert. Rental one shilling a year. 



This season ended on the 18th April, there 

 having been eight blank days, and hounds 

 having killed eleven brace of foxes. 



1868—69. On the 17th December, there 

 was a capital point and gallop of 55 minutes. 

 The ground rode very heavy, and most 

 horses were dead beat. 



Found at Cowton Whin, away at once 

 past the old Church, across the Bottoms to 

 East Cowton village ; left Cowton station 

 on the right, up to High Magdalen Farm,
