CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-Mr. Mansell, of the White
Horse, Friday-street, Cheapside, was summoned before
Mr. Knox, by Mr. Wm. Love, superintendent of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
for using a horse in an unfit state for work.
On a previous day a carman in the employ of Mr. Man-
sell, was charged before Mr. Knox, by one of the officers
of the Royal Society, with cruelly using the horse, but on
that occasion Mr. Knox ordered a summons to be taken
out against the owner of the horse.
Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon to the Metropolitan
Police, said he had examined the horse and found it to be
very old, lame, diseased, and totally unfit for use. It was
hardly able to move itself, and he considered it an act of
cruelty to send it out. There were traces of the horse
having been severely flogged also, and it was a very bad
case.

Mr. Knox said ha should insist on the poor animal, after
what was said by Mr. Cherry, being put out of its misery,
and he would adjourn the case for that purpose.
On the case again coming before Mr. Knox, Mr. Love
said the beast had been de,troyed.
A person attended for Mr. Mansell, and, in mitigation,
said that Mr. Mansell was not aware that the horse had
been flogged as stated, and that he was not an unkind man
to his horses.

Mr. Knox said he had to consider the poor horses as well
as the persons they belonged to, and if he had any feeling
in the matter it was towards the poor animals. Mr. Cherry
had stated that the horse was an old overworked horse, and
that there were marks of severe flogging, and he relied on
what he stated, having also seen the horse himself.
The defendant was then fined 10s. and costs, altogether
235.
