William Baker, a cab-driver, without hedge or license,
was charged with gross cruelty to, and disgracefully treating,
• poor animal found in his ewe.

of Cruelty to Animals, deposed that between the boars of
two and three o'click on that morning, while on duty in the
▪ George'e-road, Southwark, be sew the prisoner flogging
his horse about the road, and then pull up at the end of the
oab rank. He (witness) and a brother alma then ex-
mined the animal, and found it in a shocking state,
totally unfit for work; and in fact it was an act of great
cruelty to take it into the streets at all, as It was sonosly
able to crawl along. Both its knees were broken, and the
animal was so groggy is the fore foot at to
itra
drop on its nom at every step It took. The off
had a wound on it which was obliged to be covered over with
Me, and blood trickled down the insideof the hind legs from
Nowt Injuries evidently inflicted by the heavy whip he then
had in Ina hands, u its thous was also stained with blood.
The prisoner was without a hedge, and, according to his own
adroinion, without a license, and finding that the horse wee
wholly unfit for work, sad that he must have seen it, be gave
him into custody. The witnem added that be had brought
the horse from the green-yard for the inspection of kis wor-
ship or his °Moses.
Mr. Cook, the gaoler, informed his worship that the poor
animal was in • shocking state, and he was quits aatonlaltad
that any human creature could be totted to ill-nee it to
such en e :tent. None but • brute, he thought, would

whipped himself.
