tried the tease, was of 'opinion that thefprqif of keep-
ing dogs of the above descriptioo, wet silkiest to

Upee-the expression of dant "lade% the Jury re-
'actually found a verdict for the penalty.
Mr. 61:RNRY moved to set the verdict aside aid
enter a noesuit, in the greeted that it was necessary
to prove the killing of game, which in, this ease was
not proved. He cited the case of Read v. Phelps, in
which the decision was contrary to the law stated by
the Learned Judge, who tried this ease. The Court
granted a rule to shew cause; and this day Mr. MAK-
avert was heard in support of the verdict. He eon-,
tended that the purpose for which the defendant was
supposed to keep dogs, namely.. the destruction of
game, had not been aboadoited. His argument was,
that proof of the destruction of gape was sot required.
Mr. Justice DATUM observed, "If a man keeps a
greyhound for the purpose of killing and destroying
game, you would have no difficulty in proving the
fact. On the other baud, if a man keeps greyhound
of fierce•nature chained up in his yard, and lets him
loose only at'night, a Jary would say the dog was
kept for the protection of the house."
The Loan CRIER JIDITICR.." I cannot allow that
the mere keeping of a dog is proof of the killing of
game, or that it must be presumed that killing and de-
stroying game was the object of the party. Proof of
killing is required,. otherwise a man keeping a setter
dug or 'archer, to breed in his horse, or follow his
carriage, or for the management of his children, would
be liable to the penalty, which never amid be the ob-
ject of the Legislature." ..
Mr. Justice liataay.--Theee eillitmais are kept for

and in his collection he keen. on coine -for the de-
struction of game, for the purpose hewing bow

strument to kill and destroy game? All proceedings
wade, that Act which have come within my expe-
✓ience, have required faience, not only to skew that
the defendant kept sporting dogs and eagines for the
destruction of game, bet that, he destroyed game.
Mr. Judea Kanawha metationed a ease tried et

den is trover being brought. it was held that the
party was not jostified is seising it.
Mr. Justice BCBT.—There is no deele that keeping
i sporting dog is prima facie ',ideate of an lawn-
tout to destroy game, but the mistake of the Learned
Judge is, considering it eeeteirsiee seldom. It was
proved by a servant, that daring the wholeof the sea-
son this dog was tied op and never liken out of the
