they had not proceeded many yards when a largesihrodous
bear, which was chained to a kennel so near to the footpath
that he could reach pireMll poising, rushed oat of his kennel,
struck Miss BOPS • violent blow on the back with his paw
which knocked her down on her face, seized her with his
mouth, drew her towards him, end so soon as he had got her
within his grasp, began to worry her with his mouth in the
most ferocious manner, tore her clothes, and passed his fangs
through her person right down to the bone. Her terror was
extreme, end her screams, he (the learned counsel) was told,
were fearful, so great was the agony she endured. Mr. Gully
did what he could to get the brute away from her,
but he had no stick or weapon of any kind,
and in effect was powerless. Min Beemes screams
brought to the spot another gentleman who had
an urbe and he broke his umbrella to pieces over the
beast, butA to no avail. Seated on a rook at some distance
