The boar, unwilling to be removed, rushed at the man, knocked him down, and with his tusks lacerated different parts of his body, and laid his left arm completely open.

Patriot: Wednesday 8th October 1856

The Affairs of Natal: Bishop Colenso and the Colonists: Letters and papers just received from Port Natal, dated June 26, 1856, afford a rough notion of the state of things in that Colony. The natural advantages of the soil and climate are undeniable; all that is wanted, with the blessing of GOD, being, good government. Neither the policy of the chief Administration at the -eve, nor the proceedings of their Own, appear to give the Natal settlers much cause for satisfaction. … … long discussion of political and religious governance and ongoing disputes … … (includes) … One of the Reverend gentlemen imagined that he found an authority on vestry matters in the Nicene Creed, which he produced with amusing confidence; but a somewhat different feeling was roused, when the presiding Archdeacon refused to accept the votes of an but such as either were communicants or had signed a declaration of church-membership provided for the occasion.

The opening sermons, tow of which were preached by pioneers of the American Mission, and the third by a Wesleyan minister, bore strongly upon the anti-Catholic spirit and semi-Popish ritualism which Bishop Colenso had introduced; and, although the attendance of Churchmen was very numerous, the speeches after tea were in the same strain. …
