Mr. Edward Horwood, a farmer of re- 

 fpe£lability, who rented a large eftate under 

 Paul Wathen, efq. a* Lappiatt Park. Re- 

 turning home one night through that gentle- 

 man's park, he was winded by one of the two 

 large ftags kept there, and attacked with a 

 degree of fury which foon baffled all refift- 

 ance, though attempted for fome time with 

 a large flick, which the farmer held, and 

 plied with all his vigour, till overpowered 

 and trampled down, thg raging animal, bel- 

 lowing hideoufly all the while, butted and 

 gored the unfortunate man with his antlers, 

 during the fpace of an hour and a half, in 

 fuch a fliocking manner, that, on his hands 

 and knees, Mr. Horv/ood had, .iftcr the vin- 

 didlive bead had left him, but juft flrength 

 to crawl home, where he languiihed about 

 thirty-fix hours, and expired in great fuft'er- 

 ings. There Avere upwards of thirty wounds 

 and lacerations all over his body ; his clothes 

 were nearly torn to piects. The furgeon 

 who opened his body found the pcrk^rdium 

 of the heart attacked. H,d it not been for 

 this unlucky thruft of the horns, though 

 dreadfully injured, he might probably have 

 furvived this difafter. The fiiennly difpofi- 

 tioB of the dectafed had gained him univer- 

 tiX efteem, and makes his untimely fate the 

 theme of general coiidolance in his neigh- 

 bourhood. Apprehcnfive of accident, the 

 proprietor of the flags had juft before cau- 

 tioned every one to keep out of the way, and 

 even given orders to have them fccured, and 

 their horn3 fa*ed ofl", which in all probabi- 

 lity would have been doiie on the following 

 day; but after the melancholy occurrence 

 the animals were both (hot the enfuLug 

 morning.
