In the early days in England we find that braches were used to hunt up such smaller game as was not unharboured or dislodged by the limer. Twici says: "_Sire, touz ceaus qe sunt enchaces, sunt meuz de lymer. E tous ceaus enquillez sunt trovez de brachez_" (_see_ Appendix: Acquillez), _i.e._ All beasts that are enchased are moved by a limer, and all those that are hunted up are found by braches (Twici, pp. 2, 12). Raches are mentioned in the "Boke of St. Albans" among the "_Dyvers manere of houndes_," and the apprentice to venery is told he should speak of "A mute of houndes, a kenell of rachys." He is also informed that the hart, the buck, and the boar should be started by a limer, and that all "other bestes that huntyd shall be sought for and found by Ratches so free." John Hardyng in his Chronicle, speaking of an inroad into Scotland by Edward IV., in whose reign he was yet living, said, "And take Kennetes and Ratches with you and seeke oute all the forest with houndes and hornes as Kynge Edwarde with the long shanks dide." In the "Squyer of Low degree" we read that the huntsman came with his bugles "and seven score raches at his rechase." RESEEYUOUR; the word the most approaching this to be found in any dictionary is under the head of receiver, M. E. _receyvour_, one who, or that which receives. The _reseeyuours_ were most likely those greyhounds who received the game, _i.e._ pulled it down after it had been chased. We see in our text that _teasers_ and _reseeyuours_ are mentioned together (p. 198). The former were light, swift greyhounds; these were probably slipped first; and the latter (Shirley MS. spells _resteynours_) were the heavy greyhounds slipped last, and capable of pulling down a big stag. De Noirmont tells us: _Ces derniers étaient surnommés receveours ou receveurs_ (ii. p. 426, and G. de F., p. 177).
