...that we find ourselves called upon to notice so disgraceful an affair as that which occurred, recently, under the auspices of the owner of a bull-dog. As most of our readers are acquainted with the circumstances of the case, we will not enter into them, but that so flagrant an exhibition of cruelty and rowdyism should pass among us without notice would justify the accusations of a low standard of morality which writers in the Transcript have striven so hard to substantiate.

It is difficult now at the best to procure a decent room in the April lotteries, for the prizes are few and the number of applicants suspiciously large; but at all events this flagrant injustice of withholding rooms under false pretences is one that should be stopped, and we should be sorry to notice this abuse another year...
