PROTECTION TO CaTs.—An important ease •
reference to the right of a gamekeeper to destroy coo
was decided at the last Blackburn County Court. 11),
plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Marsden a respectable farmo;
sought to recover damages for the destruction of
valuable domestic cat belonging to him, which was wl,
fully shot on his farm by the defendant, Joseph Dool‘
worth, a gamekeeper, in the employ of Mr. J. Feilder
The examination of a number of witnesses pro and al
and the learned defence set up by Mr. Ainsworth.
which he sought to prove that cats belonged to the
ordo
fees 7v:tura, and were consequently worse than
value
less, afforded considerable amusement, to which Po
judge contributed not a little, by observing that the 005 j
was of too much importance to be decided at once, on,.
he should therefore reserve his decision till nest cour,:
The judge, Mr. J. Addison, said that there were eertsr
ancient dicta, to the effect that cats and dogs were worth
less. less. In modern times, however, there were particul,'
laws relating to dog-stealing; but as the cat in questio;
seemed to be a valuable animal to the owne and ssi
was against his express prohibition that ther, defends°,
shot the cat, he should decide in favour of the plaintiff.'
