 best pace across Hindham enclosures and Anstey allotments towards 

 Ringcombe, as if for Combe Wood, but still held the common,

 House over the next fence into Cuzzicombe allotments and down to 

 Pulworthy Water. Over Pulworthy Barton to Natty Cleeve and 

 down the water to the meadow under West Holland Wood. Here a 

 check, but the pack required no help ; they soon found out the deer 

 was not before them and turned back, fresh finding him in Natty 

 Cleeve Wood and running him in view over the meadows and down 

 the water to Ward Hill. Here again they got up to him, and he

 to the water and so up the stream, where he was taken by Ward Hill 

 Bridge at 6.20. 



He was saved, and turned out the same evening on Anstey

 He had a fine head, somewhat hooped, with B. T. 2 on both sides.

 with B. T. 3 on one horn and B. B. T. 3 on the other.)

 Leigh Ball and Doverhay Hill to Horner Water ; down the water to 

 the Ball and up the East Water almost to the road under Alder-
