1858, couple in Badgworthy Water— a male. A day of slaughter ; the 

 hind, her calf, a hound, a sheep, which went over the cliffs soon after 

 the hind, and four horses. 



September 14th, Culbone. — Found a stag immediately. Ran him 

 across to Larkbarrow ; across Oare Common and Badgworthy into 

 Farley Bottom, down the water to Ball's Pond (here a check ; time 

 so far an hour and a half) ; hit off the line again across the road 

 from Ilford Bridges, ran him over the common above on the western

 Batherham a little to the left of the Exeter Inn, and along the top of 

 Cove Cliff. From this turned away to the left as if for Huntsham, 

 but, leaving this to the right, to Dipper Down Copse near Shilling- 

 ford. Scent up to this point very bad. In this copse, however, 

 fresh found her, and she broke away towards Haynemoor Wood, 

 leaving this to the right crossed the enclosures parallel to the turnpike 

 road to Wiveliscombe, and broke from them at Petton Cross ; went 

 through the Chapel Yard to the stream below, where she was viewed 

 and pulled over immediately. Time from the lay on, three hours 

 and fifty-five minutes. A first-rate hunting run. Hounds did their 

 work admirably. 



November gth, Cloutsham. — Found a hind and yearling in Horner 

 Wood. They went away unseen by Stoke Church, and tufters were
