Worried him to death

At Harrowgate a servant had been riding a small stallion poney, the property of a physician at Manchester, and on alighting, slackly retained the rein whilst he stood with his back towards him. The poney directly seized the man, threw him on the ground, knelt on him, and in the most vengeful manner worried him to death. The mangled corpse, was rescued with difficulty from the devouring beast.
