Brought forward . . . . 

 Friday, February 19th, 1830. 



A very larg-e Field met us at Henstridg-e Ash Inn, 

 wind north-west, and a very heavy snow-storm falling 

 for several hours. Found immediately in Inwood; — going 

 away with an execrable scent to Stalbridge Park, and 

 by Stalbridge Weston to Plumley Wood, and across 

 the vale to Purse Caundle, and by Dole's Coppice to 

 Stalbridge Park, and again to Inwood, where the Hounds 

 got upon rather better terms, running him a little 

 quicker up-tvind to Temple Coombe Wood, where the 

 Hounds certainly changed, coming back with a staler 

 scent to Caundle Brake, the Fox being hallooed half 

 an hour before us; hitting him into Frith Wood, and 

 on towards Plumley, where we were beat out of scent, 

 after a run of three hours and three quarters, over a 

 very extensive tract of country 



Tuesday, February 23rd. 



A large Field met at Stock House; — finding two 

 brace of Foxes in a very few minutes: the Hounds 

 were unluckily not got away to any one of the three 

 Foxes that fled, and killed in Cover in forty minutes. 

 Found a second at Rooksmoor, which ran in Cover about 

 fifty minutes, and as it appeared to be a Vixen, the 

 Hounds were stopped and walked home 



Thursday, February 25th. 



A good Field and a select one met us at Stalbridge 

 Park; — after drawing Thornhill Coppice, &c., blank, 

 the Hounds were taken to Caundle Brake, and unken- 

 neled a brace of Foxes immediately, (five couple and 

 half going away with one to the Stalbridge Park Wall, 

 where they met with atired Fox which Mr. Farquharson's 

 Hounds had brought from Butterwick, running him in\ 

 view back towards Plumley Wood, joining with Mr. 

 Farquharson's Hounds and killing in Frith Wood) the
