by the Royal Society for the Prereatioa of Cruelty to
Animals with cruelty to a horse by using it while in an unfit
state ; and Mrs. Knight was also summoned for causing the
home to be cruelly ill•treated and tortured.
Coote, one of the Society's alum, maw Fry driving the
horse attached to a large cart, in Pall.malL Observing that
the horse wu lame he examined it, and found that it had
a very bad wound on the near hind leg, and appeared to be
in great pain, and scarcely able to walk. He then took Fry
into custody, and subsequently summoned the owner of the
home for seeding it out it the state it was is.
The magistrate said he had seen the horse, and a more
disgusting sight he had seldom seen—the poor creature could
really not stand.
The son of the owner of the horse attended, and said the
horse had been in the same state for years. He would, how.
ever, have it shot.

The magistrate had no power to order the hone to be de-
stroyed. He would adjourn the ease for a week, and if at
the sod of that time the horse was destroyed. and the costs
all paid by the owner, there would be as end of the matter,
but if not he would be prepared to indict a severe penalty
or imprisonment.
