HIM savagely, while {. stood looking on,
without attempting to call off his dog; Il.
getting out of patience. shot the dog,
and ne fell apparently dead. c. in high
dudgeOn. forthwith got out a warrant,
and had i. arrested for killing his dog
swore to the killing, and was corrobo-
rated by two of his neighbors, who We're
present at the shooting. The magistrate
lined Il. ten dollars and costs, which
amounted to about ten more; B. paid the
hne and costs, and when the parties got
home from the trial the dog had got home
also, and was not killed. B. then got
out warrant against the Frenchman and
his two associates for perjury in swearing
B. had killed the dog. They were fright
ened, and made peace with B., paid him
back his twenty dollars, and ten more
for his trouble, and no trial was had: and
