Hall, of Kysnal Lodge, is
quoted by Mr Blagg in his “History of the North Stafford Hounds”, and is as
follows: “In January, 1847, my father was living at
Brampton Tree House, near Newcastle. I was home for the holidays, and one
afternoon saw hounds and horsemen, a few of the latter in pink, the rest in
plain clothes, coming by Dimsdale Old Hall, hounds in full cry. I immediately
got a pony out of the stable and met them at Hempstalls. The fox was dead beat, and was shortly after killed in my father's orchard.
Old Maiden was a huntsman, and I think his son was whip. The fox was broken up
in front of the house, and I had the brush. Maiden told my father I had
properly entered. Mr William Davenport was master, but I do not think he was
out that day. I remember seeing Lewis Adams, of Watlands, and Mr Hatton, of
Maybank, and I think the late Mr Cartlich. The hounds were then kennelled at
Wolstanton. My father, brother and self often went to see them on a Sunday
afternoon. The Brampton, Dimsdale, Hempstalls etc were then open country; now
they're more or less built over. I do not remember
where the fox was found.

Baker died in 1908.
