. cARTIORIIVITH 'RESPECT TO DOOS.—As the son of
Mr. Geoige Smith, of Drury-lane Theerre, was
walking on Solidity last towards the Regent's Park,
in the company of two of his school-fellows, a very
large NeWfoundland dog passed them in a field, near
Carnden'Town : the dog fixed his eyes on them fem•
cioissly at he passed them, which frightened the boys
so much that they run away. Tke animal followed
them, and seized the hindmost by the.thigh, which
he lacerated very much • the cries-of the boy.capsecl
the dog-to leave him, and pursue young Smith, whom
he seized by the arm, which'he tore and bit in sere-
rat' parts; diagged him to a ditch, and totally
stripped him of his jacket and shirt ; the other boy
escaped unhurt. The two sufferers have undergone
surgical operation, and great hopes are entertaiued
of their recovery. This ought to be a caution to
owners of these large and dangerous animals, never
to trust them out without being muzzled.
Tuesday evening, as Mr. Lillywhite, the pro-
prietor of the Windsor coach, was driving his coach
between Colnbrook and Langley Broom, he disco-
vered a man lying in the road who proved to be the
driver of a loaded cut, who, being intoxicated, fell
down, the cart went over his body and killed him on
the spot. Every assistance was given by Mr. Lilly-
white and the passengers.
