• THE DOG•CART NUISANCE. HENLEY-ON-THAMES,
Aran 20.—At the magistrates' chamber, this day, Mr.
Henry Wilson, of Gilletts, presiding, Williant Smith,
hawker, was charged, at the instance Of <the Royel
Society for the I"reve.rition of Cruelty to Animals, with
wantonly tortured a dog. From the evidence of
a local police constable, it appeared that the prisoner
was seen on the Previons afternoon on the caversham•
road, near Reading, cruelly beatirig a dog attached to a
cart in which were three cwt. of old iron. The dog was
in an exhausted state, scarcely able to move, and having
at length Sunk under the weight of its load, the pri-
:soner kicked the poor brute with great violence, and
afterwards, attaching it by a rope 'to the back of his
cart, dragged it along by main force. When appre-
hended lie offered to drown the dog if the officer would
allow him to escape. The prisoner had nothing to say in
reply to the charge, but began blubbering, and implored
forgiveness. The magistrate considered that an act of
great brutality had been proved against the prisoner.
The dog-cart nuisance had become an intolerable pest
throughout the country districts, and he wass
frequentlyc o n v ifurc edo m
that the dreadful malady of hydrophobiawa
caused by the horrible 'treatment dogs experienced
persons of the prisoners class. Not only on account, of
the abominable cruelty he had practised on the helpless
animal in the present case, but for the safety of the
public generally, he felt it his duty to make an example
of the prisoner, upon whose future conduct he hoped the
punishment he was about to inflict would have a whole-
some effect. The sentence was that he be impyisoned
and kept to hard labour for one month in the county
gaol. The prisoner was immediately sent off to Oxford
Castle. - ,
