CROPPING DOGS' EARS.—The absurd and cruel Prgticeof
of " cropping " the ears of dogs, for the purpos,emire
making them look sharp, or enabling them to
better in fight according to the brutal taste of the " fane'Ll
is likely to be heard less of in future. At the LiverPtle
Police-court Thomas Mulhern was summoned, at eity
instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cru
to Animals, for causing a dog's ears to Rage
''.,
cut, thus giving it great pain. Mr. ge
barrister, Midland Circuit, appeared for the society. f
said the present offence was that of cutting the ears °e
bull pup off at the roots, causing the animal extre,tii
agony. The clipping of a dog's or horse's tail for us gut
purposes, he said, could not be objectionable ; but tf o.c 1t
a dog's ears off by the roots for the purpose of forraTl43t
forfighting was an undoubted cruelty. It appeared Cl
the act was done in the defendant's presence. This 1"-ps.
the first case the magistrates inflicted a penalty a 4
only, with costs.

brooches, which formed part of a parcel of eighteen that JP:,
been sent from Glasgowto Birmingham. The twoprisletre
had been seen in company together, and there was 11 A
doubt that Archer received the brooches from Dixonoo the
second case ?„crainst the prisoners was gone into. /IV
4th of May, a parcel containing a gold watch and twe;,.
OA domes was sent to the Central Station for trann.
Sion to London. That parcel never reached its des,tdir
tion. When the prisoner Dixon was taken into cw" r
