Past and Present. 71 



lip the Green Lane, past Carpley Green, turned to 

 the left into and through Lingy Close, over Adel- 

 borough, along under the rocks, and, oh ! what a 

 lovely cry the hounds made. Then down past the 

 east end of Worton peat mire, through Mr. King's 

 east allotment, and down to Holly Gill, where she 

 again squatted ; but the hounds pushed her out of 

 the west -end, down over the road close to the 

 river, where she doubled back on to the road, when 

 we pricked her on the road to the east end of the 

 Noble. The hounds then hit her off, hunted her 

 up to the Scar and killed her. 



Mr. Chapman was most keen on questing and 

 pricking hares, and trying to make good road 

 hounds. Three points, which are too slow, I fear, 

 for present day Nimrods.
