The only reason assigned for the ferocious ness of'the bull is that the animal had always manifested treat irritation when the youth Price (formerfcr employed by Mr Shea) was on ft previous!sopasion he had chased Price and wouli law on seeing him approach conwaenc-4olfcllow, and paw the earth as if medltatang awsh. His presence on this occasim is therefore thought to have stirred Jp the hull's anger. Tbe bull is a well-Bred boast, and was purchscd oil' Mr Hurst, and had of late been highly fed.
