stated that he resided near the defendant's house. He had
frequently complained of the nuisance from the defen-
dant's dogs, there being at least 20 in number, barking,
fighting, and howling all night. He produced a letter,
signed by several neighbours, who also complained of the
nuisance, and urging him to take out • Nimmons.

was at the back of the defendant's. He had complained
to him several times of the great nuisance caused by his
dogs yelling all night.

did not come within the meaning of the act, and in proof
of it he referred to a case of cock-crowing. in which the
magistrate held that the remedy was by civil action.
Mr. Dayman said the words in the act were, •• any ani-
mal so kept as to be a nuisance or injurious to health.—
Dogs barking all night must be a nuisance to the inhabi-
tants, and injuriousj to their health if kept awake.
The defendant said he would remove the dogs which
made the noise.

and was greatly disturbed by the dogs.

seven days, and to pay 2a. costa.
