The Troy Times says that in a
suit recently brought in the Su-
preme Court to recover damages
for the bite Of a dog, the following
answer has been served by a mem
Der Of the legal fraternity of that
city: "And the defendant further
answers that at the time mentioned
in the complaint, the plaintiff, with
sundry other unruly and boisterous
youths, was throwing snow balls in
the immediate vicinity of the de-
PENDANTS house, and thereby en-
dangering its safety and hat Of its
inmates, and thereupon the defend
ant expostulated with said plaintiff,
and requested him in a mild and
gentlemanly manner to desist; but
the plaintiff, refusing to observe the
defendants request, and moved and
instigated by the devil, %thereupon
made an assault upon this defend
ant and upon his dog, which was
providentially present, and threw
and impelled a stone at the latter,
whereupon the said dog, in self-de-
Tense, as he lawfully might for the
cause aforesaid, instinctiyely re-
sented the attack upon himself,
and playfully and eighty inserted
his teeth in and upon the person Of
the plaintiff, doing him no unnec'
essary damage, nor any damage be-
You'd what was good for him; which
are the same supposed trespasses
mentioned in the complaint.
