ORIGIN OF
FAMILIAR SAYINGS.

Bull-baiting. Although bull-baiting was a
cruel pastime. 1t was also a fulfilling of the
law; for, formerly no butcher was allowed
to offer for sale the flesh of any bull that
had not been baited. The goading Of the
animal in a fury was supposed to have some
influence on the flesh. In a similar belief
the flesh of a hunted hare was thought to
be superior in flavor to that of one that had
been shot, and a present of a hunted hare
was considered to be a special compliment.
