Sir George Grey was asked on Thursday whether he could

not prevent a scene like that at Aston Park, described in another column. Sir G. Grey, of course, thought that "as long as the public desired to witness performances of this kind it was difficult to prohibit them altogether"—an answer which would justify any enterprising ruffian in an effort to establish bull-fights. He also said he believed the managers of public gardens were responsible for accidents. Certainly, in civil cases, but it is a penal law which is wanted, and which, if it exists, cannot be put in motion for want of an authorized prosecutor.
