PROTECTION TO CATS..--An important CRSe IV- b
ref rence to the right of a gamekeeper to destroy ets:B
wee decided at the last Blackburn County Court. Tb
plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Marsden, a respectable fennel
sought to recover damages fur the destruction of
valuable domestic cat belonging to him, which was
fully shot on his farm by the defendant, Joseph Doti'
worth, a gamekeeper, in the employ of Mr. J. Feilde*
The examination of a ['umber of witnesses pro and CO
and the learned defence set up by Mr. Ainsworth, t 4
which he sought to prove that cats belonged to the oft'
feral natures, and were consequently worse than valise°
less, afforded considerable amusement, to which the
judge contributed not a little, by observing that the cal
was of too much importance to be decided at once, o
he should therefore reserve his decision till next coot,:
The juelee, Mr. J. Addison, said that there were certs"
ancient dicta, to the effect that cats and dogs were worth:,
laws
less.
relating to dog-stealing; but as the cat in questi/
seemed to be a valuable animal to the owner, and
Iteis
was against his espress prohibition that the defends'
shot the cat, he should decide in favour of the plaintiff/
