We are rejoiced to find that the 
operation of Mr. Martin’s late Act, 
for preventing the cruel and improper

tends to Bulls, and that the magistrates 
under it have already, in several

baiting. ‘This brutal amusement has 
been discontinued at Oakingham, 
where it had existed for a long period;

year in bread for the poor. Mr. 
Martin deserves a statue of gold for
