BRUTALITY.

(To tlu>. Editor of the Patua Main.)

Siu, —l was to-day the unwilling witness of one of the, most disgraceful acts of brutality to a poor phi fortunate horse in the public street, Waverlcy. From what I could learn, a man (save the mark) had the poor brute to break in to harness. It misbehaved in some way. when the brutality commenced by thrashing it on the head, ears, and eyes, in a meivimss maimer, with a heavy cane riding whip. That not being thought sufficient, a part of the shaft of the trap was brought into use, when the same beating over the head, ears, and eyes,- with alternate kicking in the stomach went on till the poor brute was knocked completely .senseless. 1 a:u informed one eye; was completely closed. During this operation, sonic seven or eight man quietly looked on at the performance. One settler did at last remonstrate with his own business, or ho would get the same. A policeman is stationed at Wavcrley, but, as usual, when wanted, was not to be found. I hope never to witness- sj|h a scene of brutalitv again.—l am, Waverlcy, Dec. 13. ’ [Note — Though it would serve the horf: heater right to publish Ins name, whave, for this time, omitted it. Several people profess themselves ready to come forward should the police take the matter up. —Ed Mail.]
