ST. DOMINGO.-Tilt following is the mode of rear
lug Biood-hounds, in St. Domingo, and the manner or
exerctfing diem by the Cnaffeurs ;
The moment:the blood-hounds are taken from the
dam they ate confined in kennels, with iron bars in
(root, like the dens ufed by (bowmen for confining
wild beatis, where they ate !pal ingly fed on the blood
and entrails of animals. As they grow up, their
ke.pe; s frequ.ntly expofe in the front of their cage a
figure retembnitg a negro, male or female, and of
the tame colour and chefs, the body of which con-
tains the h and and entrails of heath., which being ne
ct fio..ally futE:led to I.tt h out, the fipre attraas the
attention of the dogs as the fource cf their food.
They are then gradually reduced in their meals, till
they are almott (=jibed, while the image is (till
more frequently expofed to their view; and whin
they firtig..,le with redoubled ferocuy again([ their
confinement to come at their prey, the image is
hi ought nearer at intervals, till at last it is abandoned
to their hunger, and beinfr of a icket work is in an in-
(lent torn to pieces, and tiros they art ice at a copious
meal. While they go: ge thetrielves wih this, the
keeper and his colleagues carets and enctmrage them.
By this execrable artifice, the white people at once
iagtada e themlaves with the dcg,, and teach them
to regard a negro as their proper prey. As
loon as the yi.ung dogs are thus well initiated,
they are taken out to be exercifed on living ob-
jeas and are trained with great care, till they
arrive at the necatry nicety and wane& in the
purfuit of the p.or wretches they are doomed to de
ih-t,T. The common ufe of the dogs in the Spanifh
Wands, was in chafe of runaway negroes in the
snruntains. When once they got fcent of the objea,
they fpecelily ran him down, and devoured him, un-
leis he could evade the pnrfuit by climbing a tree, hi
which cafe the dogs remained at the foot of the [tee
yelping in the mutt hideous manner till their keepers
-at tired. If the viaim was to be preferved for a pub-
lic exhibition of a cruel punilhmer.t, the ga wee e
then muzzled, arid the prifoner loaded with chains.
On his neck was placed a collar with !pikes inward,
and hooks outward, the latter for the purpofe Of en-
tangling him in the banes if he attempted to elCape
If the unhappy wretch proceeded fatter than his
guard, it was cnnflrued into an attempt to run from
them, and he was given up to the dogs, who inflant.
ly devoured him. - Not (chiral, on a journey of con.;
fiderable length, there caufes were feigned by their
keepers to relieve them of their prifrinerr, and the in.
bum :n monliir who perpetrated the ad, received the
reward of ten &liars from the colony, on making
oath of his having ..lettroyed his fellow creature ! The
keepers, in general, acquire an abfolute command
over there dogs; but while the French army uftd
them in their late war againft St. Domingo, while
they had pollefrion of the Cape, the dogs frequently
broke ksole in that neighbourhood, and children
were devoured in the public way ; and fnmetimes
they Nrprized a harmlefs family of labourers, (who
had fubmitted, and furoilhed the French therntelves
with necefraries) at their funple meal, tore the babe
from the hreatl of its mother, and involved the whole
party in one common and cruel death, and return-
ed, when gorged, with their horrid jaws drenched
with human blood ! Even the defcncelefs huts Odle
negi ors have been broke into by there dreadful ani-
mal;, and the Reaping inhabitants have mated a like
n.iferabl: fate !

LONDON SESSIONS.

Yelterday J Iron was in•dtted for alraultin; Ann
Barrett, a fervant to Mr. Morris, a tradefman in Bi
Iliepfgate-(trees, on the 26th of July. The profeco-
tr ix was (landing at the door of her mallet's bode,
at dofk in the evening Rated, when the Defendant
accotled her in an unruly and infulting manner, and
ultimately (truck her without provocation on her face.
Two witnefres, the one a Jew, and the other a pub
lican in Houndfdirch, (wore, that no blow was
Bruck ; but the Ilatement of the profecutrix on that
head was indifputably confirmed by the collefling-
clerk at a brewboufe in Berm'ndfey, who was palling ,
at the moment. The Jury found the prifoner gu►lty,
and the Court fentenced him to pay a fine of 51
john Riiddir and Ann his wife were indiaed for af-
faulting William Houghton. The Profecutor, a
publican in Leaden hall-market, had been in the ha-
bit of fupplying the Defendant, a mailer frnith, in
the fame neighbourhood, with beer and liquors. A
bill for the latter articles was delivered, which occa-
finned Come difapprobation, and when the Profecutor
went to demand payment, the wife of the Defendant
rnlhed out upon him, with a knife in one hand, and
a rope in the other, (as the Learned Counfel de-
fcribed) either to hang him or cut his throat. A•
kuffie enfued, in which the hulband joined, and the
publican was at IA expelled the premifes, without
(attaining any material injury. Recourfe was after-
wards had to the Palace Court Tribunal for fatisfac •
doh. from whence the plaint was removed to the
Court of Common Pleas, and the Profecutor finally
indided the Defendant at the Seffions.—The RECOR-
DER d:prccared the fully of Cie parties in expending
their property in the litigation of the prefent tranf-
aEtion, and as they were neighbeur, loe recommend
ed that they thould (hake hands in Court and he
friends, which they inaant/y did, to the great mirth
of all prefent.
Several Parilh Appeals occurred of no general im•
portance, and the Setlions adjourned to the Old
Bailey this day.
