BARB ARITIESs

The following is an instance of cruelty to an anOtzl. that ex-
c -eds every thing the most savage monster, in the 'line of man,
has ever dared ti execute in a Christian countfy.
About three weeks ago, a person, who had hitherto passed
under the denotnination of a gentleman, in the county of
Essex, and residing not far out of the high road from London to
Chelmsford, on his ho; se starting
,with him, struck hitn most
violently.with his whip, and in cohiequence the animal reared
up and threw hire. On Reding up, the rider whipped him us
lung as lie was able, and then taking him home into the stable,
renewed the beating, with the assistance of his son, and conti-
nued it viith so much severity, that the poor animal broke trom
his halter, and, in his agony and terror, rushed through the sta-
ble door, Which was torn in pieces. .His merciless assailants
pursued him into a small yard, and there again fe:l upon him,
Arta after lashing him till they were tired, went within doors fur
some refreshment, that the masier *tight wreak a further ven-
geance on his animal. The barbarotli assault was soon recom-
nienced, and after long continuance the maddened animal flew
at some high paling, but in this desperate attempt to escape, he
broke both his fore Legs just aboVe the fetlock joints', and in-
stantly fell I Jt „might naturally be suppesed, that the Trott bru-

for his carcase butchers no sooner saw their victim thus maimed
on the ground, than fetching two cased-knives, they immedi-
ately cut oil' the two feet from the limbs, then cut his throat,
and atttrwards made an effort, but in vain, to sever the. litad
from the body; They then betook them elves to slice the trem-
bling flesh into.numberless pieces, and their man being in an
adjoining field at plough, these were wheeled out in a barrow,
and dropped at regular intervals hetveeen the furrows, in order, _ .
no doubt, to reap a profitable harvest hereof-ter from this atro-
cious deed ! The horse was reckoned inihe neighbourbood'a
good-tempered animal, and estimated at the value of unc.hun-•
dyed gunieas!—Morning Herald.
We are authorised to acquaint the public, that the accounts
published in some of the London Papers, reTectin., the to
common barbarity used towards a horse, by a gentleman anti
his son residing near the high road between London and Chelms-
ford, is a fabrication by some person who must be much more
vile than the character (supposing tiwni to exist) there traduced,
in attempting to harrow up the feelings of humanity by such an
atrocious detail. We are desired to add that the death of the
horse was pearly instantaneous, and it was much more humane
to destroy, than ti sutler it to exist, under all the ctrcurnsanees
duo really occurred, and which were the effect of accident."--.
Chelmsford Chronicle.

Tile following distressful event took place lately in Norfolk
—.\ poor girl, al,ullt 17 years of age, pregnant and very near
her time, left her service to go to her friends, at some distance..
Finding herself in labour, she apvlied at several places on .the
road, and was refused accommodation, through the fear of her
becoming burthensome to the parties. At length she delivered
herself in a corn-field, where, shocking to relate, she rern.iired
from the Saturday till the Wednesday following, with the infant
wrapped in her under-coat, and which she used every nu ans in
her power to keep alive; herself subsisting entirely upon the
ears of corn, &c. which she could pick up. The ui.foi tunate
creature then endeavoured to crawl home with the child, and
reached the place, with the assistance of some per on who met
her on the road. The infant died some days atter ; and the un-
happy motlier, by kind treatment, is likely to survive.
On Saturday a labourer, named White, while seeki•ig his
cows in a field near Canterbury, heard something' in a hette,
and, on advancing towards it, perceived one Brasier with a
quantity of wheat, which he suspected he had stolen, and on
stooping down to look at-it, Brazier seized ,him with one hand,
and cut his throat with a knife in the other. The poor man
with difficulty crawled home, but is not expected to recover.
Brazier returned home, and told his wife what he had done,
saying, " All is sate," from an idea that White Was dead ; find,
ing that, however, not to be the case, he decamped, and has
not since been heard of.
