Newton Abbot: Mr. Pinsent, of Ware Barton, near this town, had a fine ewe sheep killed on Monday last, by a bull-terrier dog, belonging to Dr. Richards, of East Teignmouth. It appears that one of Mr. Pinsent’s men observed the sheep struggling in the field and went towards it, when he saw the dog make off. He immediately took a horse and followed it to the residence of Dr. Richards, who on being informed by the man of the circumstances, immediately paid the amount of the damage, and stated his intention to keep the dog confined in future. The weight of the sheep was ninety-five pounds, and two fine lambs were inside her. The sooner dogs of this kind are rid of the better.
