Broug-ht forward .... 

 Thursday, February 11th, 1830. 



Met at Coombe Farm ; — found in Holway Brake, 



and killed under the hill in a remarkable manner, the 



leading" Hound throwing* himself^yVeere or sixteen feet 



down the hill (in view) before the fox, and catch- 



ing^ him as he turned ! Found a brace in Corton Wood, 



and after a sharp burst with the dog- Fox, ran to Earth 



at Sigwells, near Compton Pauncefoot 



Saturday, February 13th, 



Found our Fox (g^etting* on a disturbed scent, 

 and hunting' up to him beautifully) at Yarling"ton; 

 g"oing away at his brush to Wolston, and from the Earth 



at Wolston Coppice, in view, to Compton Wood, killing 

 him in forty-five minutes in the court-yard at Compton 

 Castle. Found a second in Elscombe Wood; running- 

 at the top of our speed to Yarling-tou and Wolston, 

 nearly to Cadbury, and across the vale to Galhampton, 

 where they had a momentary check, and on to Hadspen, 

 and through the Covers there to Shepton Montague, 

 and to the top of Bratton Hill ; — the Hounds here got 

 upon the heel of a second Fox that slipped away 

 from Mr. Hobhouse's Cover at Shepton Montag-ue, and 

 were taken home after a very g-ood run of one hour and 

 twenty-five minutes 



Tuesday, February 16th. 



Found a brace of Foxes in Pen Forest; — changing 

 from one to the other for an hour and half; at leng-th we 

 got on the line of the dog Fox, throug-h Cockroad 

 and Pen Forest, and away to Charlton Musgrove, where 

 the Pack g-ot np to him, ?-unning him in vieio more 

 than a mile across the vale, forcing- him up the hill by 

 Alfred's Tower, and throug-h King's Wood, to Brew- 

 ham Wood, AND UP THE ROOF OF THE FARM 



HOUSE THERE, killing in the garden, after a very 



g-ood run of two hours and three quarters 



Carried forward. . . .
