CBUELTY TO ANIMALS.
' (To the Editor of the Evening Star). Sik, —I noticed in a recent issue of your paper a letter from F. C. Dean detailing the number of blows given to the railway contractor's horse in a day, I think that Mr Dean's proper course, if his assertion and calculation could' be borne out by any other evidence, would have been to lay an information against the offending party, and have him punished for cruelty to animals, instead of rushing iuto print with a calculation based on insufficient data, and which may tend to injure the reputation of the contractor. I am sure Mr Dean could find employment much more profitable to the ratepayers who employ him by attending to the duties of his office instead of wasting his time watching a man flogging a horse.—l am, &c, One Who Knows a Thing oe Two. [We have eliminated a portion of this letter, which had no bearing on the subject, and savoured somewhat of needless personal abuse.—Ed. Stak.]
