MILICAISSID DOGS LID Tie POLIO&

Mr. J. R. Calmat milled treaties to the einmenstars
that the Act requiring all dogs to be horsed is almost
a drd Liter In this wary, and Buggered that If the
police were &err to further ibe operation of the Act
it word tend very ninett to the leseeerg of tire number
of stray, useless, sad dangerous doge. Hs pointed out
that the tat pre power to polierern equally with
easing alders, to require the production of the Horse
for any dog.
The Chairman said the Court believed they bad done
what Kr. Calash proposed. By the 2541 h section of
the new standing orders the police were autkr,rised to
szerree the powers of seising and detention conferred by
the Consolideted Act.

Colonel Cox said that shortly before he retired from
the office of Chief °mutable, he sent instraotionis to all
the Superintendents, that if they found any dogs
which were unlicensed, they were to give informatiois
to the errise officers. . . . .

r. X. Williams said be did not think it had been
acted upon in him neighbourhood (Stormirister).
Capt. Falter said ha vu told that there were many
nnHeensed dop in various part" of the county.
Captain A. Brown in,W that be bad epoken and
written to every superintendent in the force, and
pirtionlarly to Deputy Chief Constable Hammond, of
Bturminster, to the purport of Colonel Con. imam-
tin... Ile bad booM from tb• police that the excise
°Moen did not act upon the information given them.
But he would give further instructions, and be should
be glad to be informed of any place. where they were
not carried out. . _ _

—kr—. Fair;:fi ssid that by %be Act the police had the
same power in the matter as tha Bungs officers.
TM" Chairman said If a polieeman foetid an unlicensed
dog he wave information to the Excise, but the Board of
Inland Revenue had to mosamtn so action rested with
them. He was informed that the Excise ofieers had
received direction' to prosecute from sad after the 11th
torn last past, 10 that now probably something would
be done.

TN! POLIO'S AND BILJNYING ONNICZNAL

Mr. J. B. Calerart wiled attention to • seeming
conflict of authority in regard to the action of the
polies end the relieving officers io regard to vagrants.
Instances had occurred when the police devingragrents
of • disagreeable character and with large families took
them to the relieving officer, saying it wee their duty
to take them to the workhouse. He thought this duty
now fell entirely on the polies tone.
Wood Cs: said both the pollee and the relieving
adieus had equal rights to dent with vagrants.
Hr. FMK said the WM Win toll: The ouster of the
%mien said Ike vetn.l4l net kavo •ogrukin brought in by
the polies after ft o'clock; at 10 o'clock vs/roots were
found in the street, and thereupon the police took them
to the relieving officer to take to the union. The
relieving officer said the polies ought to have lodged
them in the polies ache; but he (ffir. Farrar) said
decidedly not, for it was the duty of the union to provide
for vagrants, and if the master of the union did not give
the polies the opportunity of putting them Into the
vagrant wards, they wen right in taking them to the
relieving officer.
The Chairman: I don't understood what the muter
of a union means by saying he won't receive vagrants
' after eight o'clock: it is • question of dirtrem and
, not of time.
I Mr. Fleur argued that great 12000r11111100 and
annoyance to the oMests would arise if an hour was
not fixed after which vagrants would not be rewired.
The Cbsinsan rid it was not a question of 'secants
going to the tiniest themselves, but of the polio, and
relieving oMeers being prohibited taking 'nimbi them
which be coridiorld mks improper.

Colonel oos spoke to the duisl ludo, the present
state of things *eroded.
Mr. .7„ 11. Calmat thought the ease was no wore,
than Swaney people haeing to go to Wareham, end
that they might wait • little looger.
Th• Chairman thought the plan suggested by the
Bridport muistrates wee the hest ooe, when it was
decided to mai the provision proposed, but he thought
the inhabitants of Wanthrook end Ohardstook bad not
mad* ont a ealliaisni as. to the Court at proemial.
The following memorial from the dherborne Board of
o..rdi.oe against the proposed expenditure was then
reed :
" humble inemoriel of the Guardians of the
fibertiores Union, in the County of Dorset,

that it is the intention of Joseph Guodry, Esq., to move

avoidable addition to the county expenses at the present

houses, and to submit that whilst the question of the
ratubility of property Ii in agitation *it matter may
be deferred. Your memorialist' beg further to submit
that the district in question has been satisfactorily
managed heretofore without sub provision."
On th• motion of Mr. Genre Andrews, seecinded by
Mr. J. El. &melon, the following was added u a rider
to the original resolution :
" ilesolud,—That Boards of Gaardians and rate-
payers generally have not at present any means (*Leapt

A memorial was also palmated from the Dorchester
Board a Osardians, slimed by Lori Groove, &airman,

( by adding "to a MOM favourable opportunity."
Similar mesolials to the Dorchester ow wire pre.
muted from Bridport, Boandratar, Cern* Abbas,

Major Frampton: They state that justices is oaths-

Mr. J. Goodden : It's rather unusual to 'volition ; I
drool think they are aware of Ow eare the Court takes
of the money—mesh more than ws do of our own I
think.

--Mr . laundry mid the Bridport magistrates moved
In the matter on the suggestion of the Court: the
pablie must remember that. They most willingly
bowed to any feeling the Court had. All be eoold
my was that the magistrates of the ftridport division
were perfeetly reedy to ham undertaken the
extra duties this would have imposed on them—end
was nine ten miles from the residence
of most or
inn —but they would be very glad to avoid
such extra duties lithe Court thought justice could be
otherwise satisfactorily serried on in that pert of the
meaty. Re agreed with the obsirman that the matter
bad better .tend over. . . .

_
The Chairman said no one should be deceived by
thinking the Rridport magistrates stirred in the matter.
The subject was brought to the notice of the Court, and
they were obliged to ask for information, and he must
lay that the Bridport magistrates made an admirable
report. It would probably be best to postpone the
matter till the Michaelmas tendon, and lath, meantime
the inhabitants of Manibrook and Chardstook might
show they had a grievance.
The subject wog postponed wording!).
