Theobald's-road, and its ...
Thcobald's-road, and its nieighbourhood, were on 'rues- day evening amused with the vagaries of an over-drove ox. lIe was riceeded by two avantl-couriers, in the shape of bull-dogs,who every now and tihen gave him assurance of their presence. He gored a pony which was standing in Theobald's-road, in a chaisc-cart, in which were two infant children, whose pefilous situation excited in- stant courage in the minds of those around, who extricated the poor innocents from their situation, regardless of the attacks of the en- raged animal upon the same pony which was attached to rlte cart. H e also tossed and gored a helplews old woman, and has, it is flared, so seriously injured her, that she is in Rmuch danger. At length, after having put the whole ueighbourhood into dismay and disorder he was secured by means of' a few dustaien and an experiencei butcher, who, mounting one of the high shelved dust-carts, a proached the place where he stood pawing the mud and roaring, ana throwing a slip noose over his horns dragged him to a post and slaughtered him. A few lessoas in ortification might have been learned in the streets on this occasion, where trucks, wheelbarrows, &c., formed a moveable defence agaihst his encroachec; but he hap- pilY committed no further misctief, to our knowledge, than what Is above stated. Yesterdlay morning about 10 o'cloek as a country team was procceding on its route towards Tottenham-court-road from Godstone, in Surrey, very heavily laden with trusses of hay, on pro- cecding up St. Martin's-lane, auid opposite the Navy CoffIe-house, owinlg to the ropes slipping, the whole mass fell into the middle of the street, and tor some minutes blocked tip the road ; but although a numberof carriages were passing at the moment, no michief oc- cur;ed to them, nor did a single individual receive any injury. 4
