M R. Stallwood y a Farmer at Hackney, informed 
the Juftices, to whom the Care of the dif* 
tcmper'd Cattle was committed, that he had buried 
thirteen Cows very deep, with the Quantity ofLime 
appointed by the Juftices; and, obferving his Dogs 
to fcratch and tear up the Ground with their Feet, to 
get at the Cows Flefh (the Lime fermenting, and 
caufing a Foam, as he called it, or ftrong Scent of Meat 
to arife, which made the Dogs fo eager to come at it) 
he beat them off feveral times : But the Dogs always 
returning as foon as he was gone, he, for fome time, 
hired Boys to keep them off. But that he had buried 
feveral other Cows in another Place, with their Hides 
cut and flafti'd, without any Lime (being ordered by 
the Juftices fo to do), and the Dogs never attempted 
to fcratch or tear up the Ground there, though it lay 
open to them equally with the other Ground, and 
they often run over it,
