 Hatherleigh, all over the flat, finally rising the 

 hill for Holbrook ; but, leaving the house on his 

 right, he turned down and ran sharp into 

 Blscombe. After a turn or two here, he, or 

 another, broke on the Lattiford side, and, 

 running almost to the house, swung left down 

 towards the Grove Withybed, near which we 

 had a check. We came up the hill again and 

 picked out a weak line past Gale's Plantation 

 and into Cheriton Wood. Here they again 

 got on good terms with him, and ran well to 

 Wilkinthroop and to Horsington, where he made 

 a sharp turn, but too late to save his brush, for 

 the hounds, who well deserved him, ran into 

 and killed him in a quarry by the old Cheriton 

 Turnpike Gate. A good run of about one hour 

 and twenty minutes. We drew the Withybed 

 blank and the other small covers ; but found in 

 a hedgerow below, running nearly to Wincanton. 

 The scent was not, however, so good as in the 

 morning, and we did nothing worth speaking of 

 with him.
