him dead beat in the Ironmill Water at 7.45. Hounds did not get i^ 

 home till midnight. Found the same deer on the nth of October 

 in Haddon Wood, and, after a turn out towards Kingsbrompton, ran 

 him nearly rack for rack on the same line to Spurway Mill, where 

 killed him. On this last day a certain doctor of Dulverton attended 

 woman in a deeply interesting condition on his way to the meet, 

 visited her again when the hounds ran past Bury, went on and saw 

 the stag killed, and then returned in time to assist at the birth of a

September 22nd, Pitt Combe Head. — Found a fine stag in Ash-
