At Stamford, on Thursday, G. Waterfield, a lad,
having taken a hors* from a stable, fastened the hal-
ter to one of his arms, and then incautiously lay down,
and, it is supposed, fell asleep, when the horse gal-
loped off at full speed, with the boy dragging at his
heels, through several streets. When the body was
disengaged. it was in a state too shocking to describe,
the upper part of the head having been literally beaten
oil against a large stone.
