standing in the road near the Angel Inn, Islington, whilst the
owner went a short distance : the horse taking fright at bone-

ran over and upset several fruit-stalls, scattering the contents
about the road, whilst the proprietors had scarcely time to save

against the ground; the horse and chaise passed over him, and
kMed him on the spot. The enraged dog seised the horse by
