In May, 1861, George Staverton left
"a sum of money to purchase a bull.
which bull he gave TO the poor of Wo
bingham town and parish. The animal
was to be boiled, the hide and the offal
to be sold, and the proceeds expended in
the purchase of shoes and stockings, to
be bestowed upon poor children. Up to
the year 1928 bull was regularly boil
ed on the 2lst of December in the mar
ket place Of Nottingham. But in that
year the corporation of the town deter
mined upon disseminating such pro-
ceeding, which has since accordingly
been omitted. At Christmas, 1885, q
mob broke open during the night the
place where one of the animals was
kept and boiled it, in spite of the mag
istrate's endeavors to prevent them, and
similar attempts have since been made
ON other occasions. Boston Herald.
