A most extraordinary case of cruelty to animals is reported from the neighbourhood of Brighton . It seema that a certain Mrs . Chantrell lives at Rottingdean , near that town . This woman has twice during the last three years had proceedings taken against her for starving her cats
and dogs , and on each occasion been convicted , the sentence passed upon her the second time being two months ' imprisonment without the option of paying a fine . These convictions were affirmed at Quarter Sessions , but her counsel carried an appeal to the Queen ' s Bench , Mrs .
Chantrell being , in the meantime , out on bail . Recently , it appears , the officers of that useful body , the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , got wind that Mrs . Chantrell was still pursuing her inhuman practices . They contrived by stratagem to
gain entrance to her house , aud there found aii old woman aud a large number of cats and dogs all in a most fearful state of starvation . Their solicitor , Mr . Leslie , next brought the case before Vice-Chancellor Malins , the old woman in . charge having stated that the house and
property had passed into the hands of the Court of Chancery , He promised that the receiver should at once take possession , and Mr . Leslie and sundry officers forthwith went down to Rottingdean , where they found the house barred , entrance being refused and Mrs . Chantrell herself
appearing , armed with a poker , and defying them . Admission , however , was gained and the house searched , but the cats and dogs non stmt inventi . Those had { been removed to a cottage hard by , and here the officers found them , and having obtained a sufficient quantity of
poison , the whole of the wretched creatures were put out of their misery . The sight is said to have been most revolting , one clog having pupped during the first visit , and ravenously devoured its offspring . We hope the appeal lodged by this disgrace to humanity , in the Queen ' s Bench ,
will be heard as soon as possible , and if no mitigating circumstances are found , that the sentence of imprisonment will be enforced . Nor see we any reason why this Royal Society , which has acted with so much energy in the case , should not take further proceedings against her ,
with a view to obtaining , on proof of guilt , a farther and severer punishment , so that Mrs . Chantrell maybe taught that even cats and dogs must be treated , if not with kindness , at least in accordance with the ordinary rules
of humanity . It is well for her , perhaps , that the inhabitants of the neighbourhood whei"C she lives , were successfully restrained by the constables from entering her house , or , possibly , Judge Lynch might have had something to say to her .
The most important event m the sporting world , is the death , at the comparatively early age of 61 , of Sir Joseph Hawley , one of the most strenuous supporters of the turf . To have once carried off what is known as the " Blue Riband of the Turf , " is an honour which every owner of a
racing stud hopes to secure , while a few only are successful in their ambition . Yet Sir Joseph Hawley won the Derby more than once , in 1851 with Teddington , in 1858 with Beadsman , and subsequently with Musjid and Bluegown , besides carrying off the Oaks , and other of the
principal events in racing . He was known to be a man of great judgment in horseflesh , and his Rosici'ucian realised the handsome price of six thousand two hundred guineas . He is said to have won the largest amount of
money that ever passed into one man ' s hands at Tattersalls , overasinglernce . With the late Early of Derby and Admiral Rous , Sir Joseph Hawley may be reckoned the most conspicuous turfite of the last quarter of a century . As he leaves no male issue , the baronetcy becomes extinct .
