i8Co. and after some trouble with stags, drove a hind over the ridge to 

 Anstey Common. Pack laid on here. Ran her over the common 

 to the Holland fence, and over it on to the enclosures ; through Girt 

 Wood, breaking at the lower end, across Bere Brake to East Lee 

 Cleeves, and to Middle Lee. Here she was blanched by Mr. 

 Daniel's harriers (whose field immediately joined), and came back into 

 Exe Lee Wood in view. Over Pulworthy to East Lee Cleeves, soil- 

 ing in Zealwood lime pits, thence under Kingswood to Oak Moor 

 and to Kerscott North Down, crossing the South Molton road to 

 Port, thence to Little Hele, on to Avercombe and through Oak Mill 

 to Quince Brake ; thence to Yardwood and over Beera Farm to 

 Irishcombe Plantation, over Meshaw Moors, and on to Drayford 

 Bridge, where she was taken and killed. Two hours and eighteen 

 minutes from the lay on, over the most beastly country (deny it

 ran her to Bury and back by Westhill and Upton to Deer Park,

 to the left over King's Brompton Farm towards Exton village ; then 

 back over the old Minehead road, past the Heath Poult Inn, into
