    several greyhounds. He was going along the road one day with two greyhounds which he was training for a coursing meeting when he met this freemason on the top of Massford bridge. He again asked for permission to sink the pit which the man refused whereupon the freemason struck the side of the bridge and out jumped a hare. The two greyhounds took at her on the road coursing her round the road till they were nearly dead. He again asked for permission to sink the pit and the farmer told him he would give him anything if he would save his greyhounds for him. No sooner had he said these words than the hare instantly disappeared.
