The South Staffordshire, 253 



and favourite meets are Aston Hall, Freeford Hall, 

 and Hopwas Bridge. 



On a Friday, Pottle Pool is fixed for tlie Teddesley 

 coverts — Lord Hatherton himself being as keen a 

 sportsman as lie is a guardian of foxes. Perhaps the 

 best coverts on this side are those at Hatherton, also 

 belonging to his lordship, but in the tenancy of Sir C. 

 Clifford. These are woods of some size, adjoining the 

 Albrighton country; and the meet for them is 

 generally Manstey Tollbar. Shugborough Lodge is 

 advertised for one end of the Chase, and Beaudesert 

 for the other. Lord Anglesey, it is almost needless to 

 say, supports the Hunt as strongly now as in the days 

 when he himself first called it into existence. Wolse- 

 ley Bridge is also for the Chace; and Alrewas is a 

 common meet for the Black Slough.
