MISCIIIrr AND orsTRUCTiON OF A MAD DOG.—A ''tt
o'clock on Tim rstlay nmruing, the neighbourhood of 1 nigh....
c was thrown into serious and too well grounded
by the appearainic of a mad doe at Hyde Park corner. ire
first snapped at horses in the Park ; but at the Piccadilly
gate he toe successfully seized Mr. I. rocs, son cf Mr. clog!,
the gate keeper, by the leg, and nialsiiie his way down on the
right hand aisle of the Knightsbridge-read, snapped at every
person and animal he 'net ; he timid upon a Mr. Edwar,!.;
whom he bit severely ; lie then attacked Mr. Richardson. of
I iammersmith, whom he fell upon most ferociously, in curve.
quence of his determined resistance with bin umbrella. This
gentleman escaped, we model stand, without any injury to h!s
person, although lola coat and trowsers were literally torn to
pieces. In the mean time the dog was pursued by a labourer,
of the nerve of Milford, who °vet took him at the coach-stand
at Sloane-street, but unfortunately missing his first aim wins
a pitchfork, the dog flew at his uncle, and made five elects
incisions. It required the whole strength of the poor mane
brother to extricate him, while the courageous onderer
patched the animal. He is now in St. George's hospital, souls
Mr. Edwards and the boy, where they are undergoing ttia
extraction of the bitten parts. Denford (who is all assista,:t
to his brother, a milkman, at Knightsbridge) deserves t!;e
thanks and huerai consideration of the inhabitants and
passengers:
