RE roLrmu laHlll7lOll.

The details of • disgusting exhibition of brutality
hare just transpiied at linston in the shape of a man
and rat fight, which occuired a few days ago at Cut-
manhay, a suburb of Ilkestm, chiefly inhabitoted br
colliers. Unlike the Hai/ley " man and dog fight,
which has proved to be • myth, the circumstances of
this elf.ir can be snitched for ew stridtly correct. At
a 61..4 near the tirauby Colliery a group of men
collected. Prssont4 a piece of defog was produced,
and a fi,rce-loolung rm was dirth-c.immg. Tao nJrci
was attached to lbs animal's tad, and the rat was the
centre of attraction fir a moment or two, whilst •
man aunoogst use group, who was familiarly addressed
with • nickname which betokened bun to be of Irish
origin, allowed his hem!e to hi tied behind him
with another piens of string. Theee were LLO " Cola.
Detente," and all being ready for the battle, • space
was cleared on the ground. The biped knelt down,
anti a shower of "copper. " was thrown to enounrage
Dim. The man in charge of the rat (himself an
authority in the pugilistic art, it is said) placed the
animal on the ground, retainine in hie pagination the
atlas attached to its tad. The fight than began in
earnest, and the man and the rat alternately grabbed
at each other. Tim rat drew "first blood" by fasten-
ing no the man's face, whilst the latter made grab
after grab to get bold of the rat with hie teeth. The
actual, however, seised the man by the non and in.
ll'oted • wound which the fellow will hero maw to
remember. Eventuaily the man became tired and the
rat worn out. Thus the diagu,ting wens ended.
