trected by the harking of doge to the °evoke house, and on
looking down Irma her window ',he °boomed the prisoners,
who were employed by an upholsterer reeiding there, busily
engeged in hounding on two large terrier dogs to worry a
cat in their workehtm. She watched them for nearly an hour,
in the notes of which period the poor animal escaped twice
from the window, but was followed up and taken back
by the prisoners, who again urged the doge to attack it,

hastened downstaire to give information to the police. The

hard labour, in the House of Correction.
