among sportsmen, is of three sorts, viz., at the deer, at the hare, and at the fox. These coursings are with greyhounds; for the deer there are two sorts of coursings, the one with the paddock, the other either in the forel or purlieu. See Paddock, &c.

In coursing the hare, the best way is to find one sitting, and when she is first started, to give her ground, or law, which is generally twelve-score yards. In coursing a fox, you are to stand close, and on a clear wind.
