A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE DoG-CATcH-

of the action of the city authorities in
taking up dogs having last years licenses

owners had an opportunity to have them

the opening Of the Chamberlain!s Office, and
therefore before it was possible to procure
license for the new year. We have no
means of knowing by whose order this
thing was done, but surely it is no more
than just that in cases where money has
thus been extorted it should be refunded.
