"A singular discovery was made this morning at the home of Mr. T. Gaskin, London Road. Upon one of the members of the family
going into the pantry a snake was seen coiled round the cheese dish and two glass tumblers. The reptile was subsequently removed, and gave some evidence of being
the possessor of a very evil temper. It is about a yard long, and the under-part of its body is prettily marked yellow and black. The reptile upon being
interfered with, shows a business-like pair of fangs, and issues a long loud hiss of anger."
