A bag fox was on Saturday fe'nnight turned off
before Mr. Tufneil's hounds, at Broomfield, Eller.
Reynard bring of a domeftic turn, it was with
much difficulty that he could be perfisaded to afford
any (port at all, fculking at everropportunity, but
at laft taking the valley he erofferl the river twice,
after which he made for Chelmsford, and entered
the gardens near the church ; the horfemen on the
other fide the river were at this time thrown out,
and obliged to enter the town by Springfield Lane;
this afforded a complete race through an flreets,
ID the dread of parents and the danger of children.
Some horfes which were pafling through the town
with a waggon,affrighted by the (napping of whips,
&c. turned (harp round, broke off the drafts of the
waggon and much injured the fillers by dragging
it upon the ground a confiderable dillance. The
fences of the gardens were fo high, (which, how-
ever, were Coon lowered) the hounds could not
stake the fox off, and the firft Tallyho was on per-
ceiving Reynard mounted upon the tiles, near the
Naafi of Indsery, to which place the fob& animal
appeared to have led his followers. The Nimiods
oldie town were, by this time, fufficiently alarmed,
and were not long prefect ere the fences to the
gardens were fcalcd, and Reynard was with tome
difficulty taken in a pigs-cote and again begged
alive, arnida the curies of the women whore fences
had fuffcred. His good fortune did not, however,
11.1 y long with him, for being again turned down on
the Navigation Wharf,be made for Springfield,and
again taking to the river, trolled at Mr. Mars itige's
Mill, and was killed near the Boarded Barn, in
Chelmsford.
