A Dastardly Act —In Mr Cooksey's stables in Morrison street, there is an aperture in the end abutting on the street, which is generally left open for the purposes of ventilation. On Saturday last upon Mr Cooksey stabling his horses he found several square gin bottles on the horees 1 bedding, these having evidently been thrown through this aperture, so that had the horses lain down they must inevitably have lain on the bottles, and by crushing them would in all probabily have considerably lacerated themselves, and very likely have become unfit for work for ft considerable time.
