Found a Fox near Blackford Hollow; — running- him 

 very sharply and quick throug-h Yarlington, by Lilly 

 Wood, to the vale by Shepton Montague, and throug-h 

 Mr. Hobhouse's Covers at Hadspen, killing behind the 

 Mansion House 



Fridajs December 29th. 



Met at Plumley Wood, near Stourton Caundle, and 

 found immediately ; — g"oing- away throug-h the Caundle 

 Holt Covers by Ashcombe Wood to Haydon, and along^ 

 the Vale to Purse Caundle, by Frith Wood to Stal- 

 bridg-e Park, where he went to a drain and g-ot in. The 

 Hounds g-oing- away to an halloo with another Fox, 

 over the Park wall to Inwood, and throug-h that Cover 

 by Henstridg-e Bowden, to Caundle Brake, and along* 

 3filborne Moor to Hanover Wood, where the Hounds,

Friday, January 5th. 



We unluckily chopped this day a fine do^ Fox in 

 Caundle Brake, a sing-le Hound meeting- him in a rack 

 way, the Fox having-^ot well upon his leg-s, A second 

 Fox stole away, the Hounds not getting upon him for 

 nearly thirty minutes after he had left his kennel. Bad 

 and stormy as the weather was the Hounds hunted him 

 on at a walking- pace, for Frith Wood and thence to 

 Plumley Wood, and over the Earths there to the Caundle 

 Holt Covers and Caundle Wood, where they g-ot up to 

 him — when a tremendous shower of hail broug-ht Hounds 

 and Horses to a stand-still: but by great perseverance 

 we carried the scent along- as far as Marsh Common and 

 North Wootton Coppice to Sherborne Park; where he 



went to Earth
