HOLT, NO.RFOLK7R4BBIT3 AGAIN !

TO THE EDITOR OF THE Strn
SlR,—Generally the minds of persons, however tyran-
nically inclined, are acted upon by public opinion, but in
" The great Holt Rabbit Case," the craniums of those
who should be influenced appear too thick for public
opinion to have any effect upon.
It will hardly be credited that, after so strong and
general expression of disgust by the press in this case,
another prosecution could have taken place ; but it
is, nevertheless, the fact. John Hagon, one of the men
imprisoned for the last case of alleged trespass, has re-
ceived another summons this morning, and will appear
before the magistrates on Saturday next.
The informer is servant to George Barker, Esq., and
the summons is signed by W. Hamilton Pemberton,
Eq., of Holt Hall. The man will be defended. How
the magistrates will act remains to be seen.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
