The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 75 



was found in a small covert on Atlay Hill, 

 which ran to the Tile Sheds Plantation at 

 Streatlam, where a brace more were afoot. 

 After hunting the leash in covert for some 

 time, all three broke away about fifty yards 

 behind one another, and took the same line 

 to Hodber Hill Plantation at Kiplin. Hounds 

 pushed one away from here over the Forest 

 Farm, then bearing east, nearly up to Streat- 

 lam village ; taking a turn to the north from 

 here, hounds ran past the Tile Shed Plantation 

 straight up to Pepper Arden, over the Park 

 there, into the Bottoms on the north side. 

 Being headed near the Church, he turned back 

 through the Park, to East Cowton village, 

 and on to Cowton station. Here again, 

 being headed by people working on the rail- 

 way, he turned towards Birkby , and ran parallel 

 with the Wiske up to Hutton Bonville, bore 

 right-handed from here nearly up to Streatlam 

 Whin, headed again here, he turned back 

 through Danby Wiske village and on into 

 the Hutton Bonville coverts ; leaving them 

 he ran towards Birkby again, but hounds had 

 to be stopped, as it was pitch dark, having 

 run for two hours and thirty-six minutes. A 

 twisting sort of a hunt, but the fox seems to 

 have been headed in all directions. 



On January 8th, found in Spennithorne 

 Whin, and ran to within two fields of Marri- 

 forth coverts, turning here the fox ran down 

 Ruswick Gill, on the south side of Fingall 

 village to Croft Wood, crossed the railway, and 

 on by Constable Burton Hall to Forty Acres
