Indio:nation arisino; a^-ainst those who wit- nessed such sights may be somewhat appeased by the knowledge that infuriated bulls occa- sionally tossed the torn and bleeding carcases of their tormentors into the faces and laps of spectators. Pepys fi-equently speaks of dense crowds which assembled to witness this form of cruelty, which he designates as good sport ; and Evelyn speaks of a gallant steed that, under the pretence that he had killed a man, was baited by dogs, but fought so hard for h...is life ' the fiercest of them could not fasten on him till he was run through with swords. ' Not only bull and bear baitino- cock and do"; fia-htin^' were encouraged, but prize combats between man and man were regarded as sources of great diversion. Pepj^'s gives a vivid picture of a furious en- counter lie, in common with a great and excited crowd, witnessed at the bear-garden stairs, at Bankside, between a butcher and a waterman. * The former, * says he, ' had the better all along. 222 ROYALTY RESTORED.
