A FAITHFUL SERVANT.
COUNCIL’S HUMANE ACT.
At last night’s Borough Council meeting, “Prince,” the old Council horse, was placed on superannuation for the rest of his life. The Clerk said that he had received an offer to purchase “Prince” for “anything between 5s and 10s” for “cliieken meat.” He was at present grazing on a ten acre paddock belonging to the Council, and doing no harm. He was of the opinion that lie should be superannuated for the rest of his life. The road foreman was prepared to draw water-for him. Council decided that the faithful old animal should browse in peace for the rest of his life until he died.
