THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION AT AN END
o Mr, Philip Walters, Belgrave-road, Birmingham, has designed a deathdealing machine. “It is intended to have it worked on Royalty.” Mt. Walters has been forty years working out his invention, and his grand aim has been “to try to Christianise all those who have to take away life, and for their eyes and ears to be free from the dying struggles andslirieks of God’s creatures.” Tire patentee asserts that his machine “instantly and momentously deprives of life any animal the Great Creator ever formed, from the beautiful bird of paradise to the mighty elephant ” The truly infernal character of “ this most extraordinary machine of the a,ge” may be inferred from the fact that “ that a man or a boy can work it, or, on a larger scale, for steam power.” Mr. Walters aspires to be a slaughter-house reformer, and threatens to exhibit his wonderful discovery at the Christmas Smithfield Cattle Show. We deem it important to warn Royalty, inasmuch as Mr, Walters publicly proclaims that he has designs that way ; and his incentive is the mainspring of every fanatic—virtuous impulse and unbridled philanthropy.
