A fox stole off from the merryfeilds, & was halloed by 

 M'. Orms north gate of his avenue, so the hounds were laid 

 on there, & they ran it very hard, up the steep part of 

 GrafFam hanger, over the Teglees to Randals bottom, crofs 

 the road up to the Binges, & from thence to Dawtreys 

 hooks, over Waltham Comon by the lone beech, & up to 

 Houghton Pound, & to Preist comb there the Fox headed 

 & turn'd back & ran all the side hills to Farm AVood, North 

 hanger & Barlavington hanger, there he went down the hill 

 & ran by Sutton to Bignor parke & Waltham Parke, & then 

 back to Farm wood where he went to ground in the main 

 earth, so he could not be dugg. 



I went to London & the hounds were out butt three 

 times as it was a hard frost, & in the three times of going 

 out they did not find once, or had even a touch of a fox ; 

 they beat twice below the hills by ISIidhurst, feilders fuzz's, 

 Burton, & Bignor Parke & once at Chidham.
