CRURETT TO HORSES.

STRATFORD-ON-AVON, BErr. 28.—The rich agri-
cultural distacta lying between this place and Moreton on
the Marsh, in Olonontershire, are connected by a tram-road,
which Stephenson conceived and carried oat even before
I the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was mistrusted.
This tram-road is 18 miles in length, and under the prusi-
lions of the art for its construction, it hu always been
worked by hone power. When the Orford, Worcester,
end Wolverhampton Railway traversed the district, they
were compelled to purehus this tam road, and for a short
time they endeavoured to work the traffic with small loco-
motive engines, constructed f..or the perms. Some of
the landholder, however, interfered, and compelled the
company to return to the old method of horse power.
The troth being very light, the company have hitherto
contracted for its performance with various individuals, and
one Joseph Haynes, steward to Mr. Philip Howard, of
Puente, has furnished the hones for that portion of the
road between Siratford and Ilsnington. For a long time
put the cattle employed by Haynes have beta of the worst
description—low in condition, buffering from disease, and
covered with sues on onions parts of their bodies. Com-
plaints and nasonstraoces have been of no avail, and at
length the aid of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals was invoked to put a stop to the cruelty in
question. Informations were accordingly laid against
Joseph Haynes, charging him with having caused certain
animals to be tortured and ill-treated ; and the cue came on
for hearing at the petty envious for this division of the
enmity of Warwick, held yesterday at Stratford. Mr.
Evelyn Shirley, M.P., presided, and Mr. J. B. Frees and
Mr. James Crve Jones were upon the bench.
Cues of long continued neglect and cruelty were
clearly proved wriest defendant. It was shown on undo
triable veterinary testimony that the hones employed by
Haynes were altogether unsuited for the heavy labour
assigned to them, and that on several occasions when abut
out they were in the lad state of eshaustioe. The defen-
dant's aoswer was a denial of his liability, inasmuch as he
stated that until the informations were served upon him he
knew nothing of the condition of his horses. The bench
considered the case fully proved, and convicted the deism
dant in the highest pecuniary penalty of 61. and outs, on
three distinct informations, making a total of upwards of
201. penalty, in default of which they adjudged him to
suffer three several terms of two months' imprisonment in
Wsrwick gaol. Mr. Fonter, on behalf of the society, re-
quested that the moiety of the flora accruing to the probe.
cation might be handed over to the most deserving local
charity. It wen stated in court that defendant bad given
up the contract as soon as the informations were served.
