The poor animal lay in a pool of water all night with its leg broken, and no donbt otherwise injured. When I saw it at seven this morning tho leg was banging by a piece of the skin, tf euoh cases as these are not cruelty, I Jo not know what is. The Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ought to petition the Government to cause the guard to carry a rifle, and he be authorised to shoot all such cases as the above. What is the use of so much crying out about the men boxing with gloves, and calling it cruelty when they, the boxers, know perfectly well what will be the result. The poor dumb animal, who cannot give notice to the pasßers by, haß to lio with Ub Ie» broken in a pool* ot water all night. Mr Curtis did not know of the accident till this morning, when he at once sent his butcher to shoot the horse.
