Oa killing her it was found that sotneo;)'* had evidently fired at her. as some CO pellets of shot were extracted from heir flauk. This fact speaks for itself, Another faGt that has been given us H that a young man owning a horse, neat the Selwjn, discovered that a slug shot, such as ia used for shooting swans, had been embedded in its jaw. Tn& wound was a nasty and dangerous one, and the horse" for some time was in a ethical state. It must, indeed, be j, cruel sportsman who finds sport m t hooting use/al and inoffensive aiiiioal s inflicting needless torture on them foi? " fun." — EUasmere Guardian.
