Image description

An Instance Never Known Before. On July 1811: A Butcher went to the seat of Thos. William Esq at Farmington near Northleach, Gloucestershire to kill an old cart horse. After he had struck the horse the man employed to hold it, dropt the halter. The horse immediately ran at the butcher who took to his heels and after several turns in the field they entered the rickyard. The Butcher, being an old man and quite exhausted, fell among the ricks. The horse caught at him (but luckily missed) and fell upon a mare. In a few minutes the man of blood, assisted by fear, crept softly away not to disturb the pleasurer till it was quite dead
