Lordship's and the Kilkenny Hounds meeting at the same 

 period in the same country. All the earths, &c., to be 

 stopped, as also Knockbrack in the morning ; and should 

 your hounds run their fox into Knockbrack, they can, of 

 course, continue to hunt him. This arrangement to cease 

 at any time the Committee of the Kilkenny Club may deem 

 it necessary. 



Yours, &c. , 



JOHN POWER.

CURRAGHMORE, January $rd, 1844. 

 MY DEAR POWER, 



I am much obliged to you and the Committee of the 

 Kilkenny Club for giving me the draws mentioned in your 

 letter of the 291)1 December. I wish you would let me 

 know the Christian name and residence of Mr. Pope, to 

 whom I am to write about Tory Hill and Clonassy. I am 

 much obliged to you for the trouble you have taken in 

 sending the names of the covert-keepers, &c. I drew Tory 

 Hill last Friday, so of course have no business there until 

 February. On Friday, whilst eating a fox at Tory, half the 

 pack got away with another, which they ran through 

 Clonassy to ground near Knockbrack. After my half had 

 devoured at Tory, I set off in search of the rest, and fell in 

 with Briscoe's hounds, which I mistook for mine. They 

 had a run from Ballinaboola, and were in great glee. We 

 drew out the hounds, and Reynard escaped. 



Yours truly, 



WATER FORD.
