?S HIS DIARY.

MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1849.—Cp betimes, it being
scarcely Light, to Smithfield, to see the Cattle Market,
which I do think a great Disgrace to the City, being
so nasty, filthy, and dangerous a place in
the very
Heart of London. I did observe the Manner of driving
the the Beasts together used by the Drovers, which c
disgust me. To force the Oxen into their

have stout Cudgels,

getting room for the Beasts in the Pens, do drive them
into circles called Ring Droves,,with their hind Parts

outwards, and their Heads forced as close as may be
together: this done by beating them with all their Might
about the Head and Eyes, and between the Horns,
which they do call pething them. nen to see how
they, crowd the Sheep into the You by dogging them
as their word is, wlich means baiting them with Dogs
that do tear the Sheep's Eyes, Ears and. Cheeks, until
they worry such Numbers in, that not.one can budge an
Inch. All this Cruelty is caused by the Market not
being big enough : for which Reason they are obliged
to force the unlucky Brutes into the smallest possible
Space. What with the Oaths and Curses of the Drovers
and Butchers and the Barking of their Dogs and the
Cries of the Animals in Torture, I do think I never
heard a more horrid Din in my Life. The Hearing was
as bad as the Seeing, and both as bad as could be, ex-
cept the Smell, which was worse than either. But to be
sure it was good Sport to see here and there a Fat Gra-
zier' overthrown by a Pig running between his Legs, and
so upsetting him in the Mire. It were well if it were
never worse ; but with mad Oxen driven from the
