Among the numerous charges for high
crimes and misdemeanors alledged against
the native canine brood, one of a most serious
nature is exhibited by an eccentric humour-
ist of Parramatta : nor can the depravity
of the graceless offender admit too harsh an

manners had highly recommended him to
attention & esteem, was for the preservation
apartment in the oven ; to which in the
course of the night his profligate fellow-crea-
ture, prowling for prey, unfortuntely found
access, and with unparalelled voracity lite-
rally demolished the puny favorite.

the other with a handsaw, with which he so
severely wounded his an.ago just above one
of the wrists as in all probability to deprive
him for ever of the use of his hand.
