An east end leopard

The inhabitants of Bow were lately greatly alarmed by the appearance of a leopard, which tore a man's leg in a terrible manner, and killed all the dogs that ventured near him; several persons were thrown down by this ferocious animal, and a general consternation ensued. At length some resolute fellows resolved to destroy him, and prevent any further mischief; for which purpose they provided a large quantity of fishing and other nets, which they found means to throw over him, and luckily entangled him in such a manner that all his efforts to escape were fruitless; when clubs, pitchforks, and other instruments soon put an end to his life.
