124 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



and forty minutes. He was also lucky in 

 having a capital stock of foxes at Wenlock 

 Wood and Whin, as also at Thornhills' Whin ; 

 from all of which places he had many good 

 gallops. I much regret to say that this is no 

 longer the case as regards Wenlock Wood, 

 and I think I have only seen about three 

 foxes found there in twelve years. 



On the 14th November, meeting at Sion 

 Hill, there was a good hunt from Solberg in 

 the afternoon. Found at once and ran 

 down to the Swale, but the fox turned 

 away from the river, and bore right-handed 

 nearly up to Ainderby Steeple ; leaving 

 this village on the right, he went on up to 

 Morton Bridge, crossed the Bedale and 

 Northallerton road, up to Thrintoft village, 

 from there on to Langton Hall, opposite 

 which he went over the river; and bearing 

 first of all towards Kirkby Fleetham, finally 

 swung round into Scruton Big Wood, where 

 hounds killed him, after one hour and 

 thirty minutes. 



On the 15th March, having done nothing 

 much about Kiplin, Cowton, and Uckerby ; 

 a good fox was found in Thrintoft Whin, 

 which ran down to Yafforth, then left- 

 handed over Danby Hill to Streatlam, from 

 here across to Danby Wiske village, over 

 the Wiske, up to and through the Hutton 

 Bonville coverts, and from there to the 

 Smeaton coverts ; where hounds were run 

 out of scent, after a good hunt of an hour 

 and forty minutes.
