House, where a larg-e and select Field were assembled. 

 They found immediately in Stock Wood, going- away (after 

 being headed back in Cover as usual,) to Rowden Mill, 

 and over the river to Bishop's Caundle, and within a few 

 fields of Caundle Wood, where the Fox was again headed, 

 the Hounds running him toStourton Caundle and killing 

 him in one hour and twenty minutes. The Hounds were 

 then taken to the south Cover under the Keeper's Lodge, 

 where a brace and half of Foxes were soon upon their 

 legs, and after running in Cover, changing and heading 

 back for a considerable time, the Hounds got away with 

 one to Rodmoor, and nearly to Holwell Borough, killing 

 him near Woodbridge, in one hour and forty minutes.. .

 Yarlington, and Elscombe Wood, blank, in a very 

 heavy rain 



Tuesday, March 15th. 



The Blackmoor Vale Hounds met this day at Pos- 

 tlebury Wood ; — finding a short running vixen Fox in 

 this extensive Cover, with the wind at south-west, wnfZer 

 a very heavy rain ; running her for nearly two hours, 

 with an execrable scent, when the Hounds were stopped, 

 at the request of the whole Field 



Friday, March 18th. 



Met at Inwood, where we found immediately ; 



going away at a killing pace to Temple Coombe W^ood, 

 and to Cherton Lower Wood, and on to Maperton, 

 making for Elscombe Wood, from whence the Hounds 

 fairly turned him, running him all but in view into a 

 drain, leading under a house at Cheriton, in a brilliant 

 burst of one hour and five minutes* 



Carried forward.
