LOCAL HUNTING NOTES

Warwickshire Hunt

On Friday they met at North End. Found their first fox in the New Covert on Burton Dassett hills and they sent him away at once and dipped down into the vale and pushed him on a right handed circle to Elkingtons Spinney and killed him in 15 minutes. They next pushed up a brace in Mr Tom Readings Gorse and quickly chopping one, ran the other to ground at Farnborough. Several declared themselves at the Fish Ponds at Farnborough and settling down to a line of one of them, hounds ran him sharply in a big ring to Mr Nicholls’s farm, where he got to ground but was dug out and killed. George Turner was hunting the Bitch pack, Mr Joshua Fielden the joint master, having unfortunately being tossed by a bull, but his injuries are not so serious as to prevent him again appearing in the saddle this week.
