SIR WALTER PALK CAREW, BART. 51 



dug out after a run of any length or severity. One 

 dug out on the 28th January, 1831, after a " very 

 pretty run " to the Ilsham cUffs, was allowed to rest 

 until the 4th February, when he was turned out at 

 Bovey Heathfield and killed at Haccombe after a 

 very good run, evidently on his way home to the 

 diffs. 



Another good bagman that knew the stronghold 

 in the Stoke cliffs was the one put down at Bradley 

 on the 9th February, 1831. The pack hunted him 

 with a very bad scent for six hours through seven 

 parishes, finally losing him in the cliffs. All credit 

 to the patience of hounds and huntsman ! 



A fox found near Chudleigh on February 11th, 

 1833, earthed in Chudleigh Rock and afterwards 

 caught in a box trap, was evidently a visitor in that 

 locality. For, when set at large at Stover a few 

 days later, he gave " a beautiful run " through 

 Bradley, the Decoy, Kingskerswell, Compton and 

 Cockington to Paignton sands, where he was taken 

 alive. 



On December 19th, 1835, a fox from Browns- 

 combe was turned out at Teignbridge. The pack 

 ran hard till dark and the master could not say 

 whether or no they killed. 



Another, turned out at Ogwell, was killed at 

 Botter Rock after a capital run. 



A fox turned down at Humber Moor on the 23rd 

 December, 1837, went straight back to the drain at 

 White way from which he had been taken on the 21st. 



A rare good bagman was that which, on the 31st 

 March, 1838, got to ground at Buckland Beacon 

 after starting from Jew's Bridge. The master speaks 

 of this as " a magnificent run." 



Of the same good stuff was the Decoy fox put down
