Constable Miller effected a novel arrest on Sunday. A mad bull had for some days been roaming the paddocks at Woodhaugh, and was in such a state of frenzy that it was proposed to shoot it. Constable Miller happening to come along, remarked that he could tame it.' He forthwith entered the paddock; awaited the charge of the bull, and as the infuriated animal rushed headlong at him, took a step to one side, seized the bull by the horns, threw it, and then pinned it to the ground, holding on single-handed until some of the bystanders, brought ropes and made the prey secure. The feat called for more strength, courage, and activity than are possessed by ordinary mortals.
