not stopped. Laid on the pack, and ran by Alderman's Barrow 185^- 

 behind Larkbarrow to Oare Common. Here she was viewed with 

 the tufters close to her in the first combe going down to Badgworthy 

 Water ; over Badgworthy to Brendon, along the head of the covers by 

 Brendon Church to the water. Tried down to below Watersmeet, 

 then up and fresh found her ; then down again and up through the 

 covers as if for Countisbury ; but came down again to the water 

 below Watersmeet, down the stream, and after a check fresh found 

 her, and took her half a mile above Lynmouth. Two hours and a 

 half from the lay on. 



^^r// 1 1///, Haddon. — Found several deer in Deer Park. After 1859. 

 some hanging about the cover a single hind was driven over to the 

 Exe. She was seen to be a Cheshire deer, but it was thought a burst 

 would do her no harm and the pack a vast deal of good ; no one 

 dreaming she would ever leave the covers. Pack laid on at 4 p.m. 

 Ran her straight through Exe Cleeve, over Heatheridge, North 

 Combe enclosures, and Court Down to Loosehall Wood, and up the 

 bottom under Highercombe ; thence, crossing over Draydon, through 

 Marsh Wood and Ashweek Wood to the Barle. Here beat the 

 water for a few yards, and then turned up through Shircombe Slade, 

 crossing North Moor along the head of Hindham enclosure, and 

 finally out over Anstey Common 3 breaking the fence dividing that 

 and Molland Common, on near the cottage by Lishell Court, and 

 running parallel with the Danesbrook, passed midway between 

 Molland Post and Willingford Water, and broke into the rough 

 enclosures on the right, where the hind was run into in the open in 

 front of Sandyway House. Scent was bad at first, but on getting on 

 to Anstey Common they raced. One hour and twenty minutes from 

 the lay on. 



August 26///, CuLBONE.— No deer in the Culbone covers, so 

 trotted off to Larkbarrow. Five deer reported on the North Forest
