MARYIAI)OI:iIf.

• "
James Deems, a butcher, in bamuses at No. 22, Devon-
shire-street, I issoo-grove, was charged that he, oa the 14th
inst., did unlawfully suffer to be at large a ferocious =-
muzzled dog, which bit a boy named WO= Newsham.
• The boy, who when put in the box eared in • Try
weak state, deposed that be was parg by defendant's
house, whim a dog dew out of the shop, bit him, and
worried him so, that when the dog was pulled from him
blood osme from several parts of his body. He bad not
been able to do any work since.
A woman named West corroborated, and said she had
Dees the same dog bite other boys. She was so horrified at
seeing complainant worried that the feinted, and when
carried home she gave premature birth to a still bon child.
Mrs. O'Hara mid she had a little boy who was a cripple
for some time in consequential of the same dog biting him.
When she complethed to the defendant, be seized her by
the neck and thrust her out of his shop.
Defendant, in answer to the charge, acknowledged that
the dog was Ma property, but it would not bite anyone
unless it was goaded to rt. It wee the very reverse of
being a ferocious dog.
A relative of the defendant was called, and endorsed the
defenclues statement.
Mr. Yardley—l never knew or heard of a good•tenspered
dog dying at or biting any of its friends, and dpsogeserally
are too sagacious not to know that boys, u • are very
fond of them. It is very Delilah and cruel of to keep
a snarling cur t snap and bite and worry unoffeoding
&riches. If I w.s to have my choice between receiving
a severe gun-shot wound and the bite of a &gishould
infinitely prefer the former. for then I amid get to knew
' the amount of injuries I had received. But the bite of a
dog was totally dWereet. A person might feel no effect
' from the bite for you!, and at the end of that tiros the
I poi aeons virus might operate, and the person die the
most horrible of deaths. If defendant thought proper to
indulge in the luxury of keeping a ferocious dog he must
pay far it. Be should impure upon him a floe of 40a., or
in default one month's imprisosmont.
