 two from the lay on, and quite fast enough. A fair deer with

 Hill. Ran her into Bagborough Plantation nearly to the north end, 

 then turned and broke into Aisholt Combe ; thence by Plainsfield 

 into Cockercombe, and from that by Seven Wells and Reddon's Hill

 and passing close by the mine there, to Lype Common, skirting the 

 plantation. Now turned to the left to the head of Hart Cleeve, 

 crossed it, on close to Couple Cross, and thence to Stowey House ; 

 thence bore to the right by Beasley, where we caught sight of the
