254 MANAGEMENT OF HOUNDS. 



The fair complainant was remunerated for the trouble 

 likely to ensue after this black affair, and the fox, having 

 been secured, was taken into some meadows opposite, 

 and turned adrift. Sufficient time was given him, and 

 then the hounds laid on the scent, or rather track, for 

 scent there was none at first from his worship, who pre- 

 sented the appearance of a running soot-bag. After he 

 had well shaken himself, however, and brushed through 

 a fence or two, the hounds set to work running hard, 

 and the who-hoop soon resounded over the late tenant 

 of the chimney.
