Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by his arm and shoulder, as though, at once pushing and supporting him. The rest of us, magistrates and the like, followed behind. Suddenly, when we had gone ten yards, the procession stopped short without any order or warning.

It was a large woolly dog, half Airedale, half Pariah.

Everyone stood aghast, too taken aback even to grab at the dog.
