MISCELLANEA. 
wound had been inflicted by an instrument directly in front 
of the animal, and they had also other evidence which went 
a great way to prove that the animal was put into the car- 
riage in a sound state. In shunting the carriages at Tailing- 
ton, it was very probable that a violent concussion of two 
opposing bodies might have caused the horse to be thrown 
forward, and the injury thereby inflicted. He should submit 
the three questions put to him by his learned friend for their 
consideration, but the question that overruled all others was, 
where did the horse receive the injury? 
After a few other remarks from his Honour, the jury retired, 
and after an absence of some time, returned into court with 
a verdict for the plaintiff. 
MISCELLANEA. 
ARRIVAL OF “ MASTER BUTTERFLY 55 IN AUSTRALIA. 
The famousbull Master Butterfly, bred by Colonel Townelev, 
of Towneley Park, winner of the first prize at Chelmsford, 
in July last, Paris, and other Shows, which it will be re- 
membered was purchased by Mr. Strafford for an agent of 
Mr. Ware’s, Camperdown, Australia, at the unprecedented 
sum of 1200 guineas, reached Geelong in safety early in 
November last. His condition on landing reflected the 
highest credit upon the care and attention Captain Godfrey, 
of the Copenhagen, had bestowed on his interesting charge. 
We also learn that Mr. Ware is much pleased with his 
purchase. He had generously allowed the animal to be 
shown in Geelong for the benefit of the Anglo-society, and 
to use the words of our informant, “ every one who could 
spare a shilling had done so to have a peep at this far- 
famed animal.” We are the more gratified to make this 
arrival known, as it corrects a rumour as to the bull’s being 
lost shortly after his shipment. The other stock which 
accompanied him also arrived out in safety; and we trust 
these enterprising colonists may reap the reward of their 
spirited exertions to improve the breed of cattle and sheep 
in those far- distant lands
