Abominable Cruelty

Chat and Miscellanies, Tatler [James Leigh Hunt]


Abominable Cruelty—A Bill of fare [announcing] the bull, bear and badger will be baited.…[We are glad that the above account is going the round of newspapers, under the stigmatizing words at he head of it. "Miss Alice Cottam" is probably more silly than cruel; but so are all those that delight in these barbarities, as we thrust they will ere long be considered. When they come to be considered fools, they be in haste to leave off their cruelty.]
