On Monday last, Mr James Wilkie had been looking after some shearers, who ere at work in a field near Bonnington, and have incautiously gone into a field where a young bull was grazing, the animal ran at him furiously, and struck him on the breast, when attempting to seize him by the horns – there being no means by which he could possibly escape, he was thrown down, trampled upon and tossed about for some time, when the bull was joined by two bullocks, which were feeding along with him, and such was the of the animals, that although this melancholy scene took place with in view of a whole field of shearers, it was quite impossible to render him the slightest assistance. When Mr Wilkie was take up he was still alive, with his breast back and almost every bone in his body broke : he was able to speak a little and drank some water, but expired two hours later.
