THE HORsE-SHoOTING CASE.
In the case Of Edward Wooiv, charged
with cruelty shooting valuable horse be-
longing to Mr.. Thomas p. Morgan, which
has been pending In this court for several
weeks under the act creating the society Tor
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals, the
court gave judgment this morning against
the defendant, and imposed fine Of S5O 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. r. p. Jackson,
counsel for defendant, when the hearing
took place on the 2Sth OF April, filed a de-
murrer TO the jurisdiction OF the court, under
the act Incorporating the Society for the
prevention of Cruelty to Animals, passed
June p, 1870, taking the ground that these
cases were exclusively under the jurisdic.
ton Of magistrates courts. This was over
ruled, and defendants counsel claimed that
bis client had right to shoot the animal,
citing the act Of the old colony OF Maryland /,
passed in 1851, which has never been re-
pealed, authorizing persons who suffer from
trespass by horses running at large to shoot
them while so trespassing, providing that
the owners have been twice notified in pur-
suance of law. The court stated that this
was one OF those cases where the law had
grown obsolete during long series of years
which have changed the circumstances of
things, rendering It inapplicable at the pres.
emit time. He gave this judgment in order
that the validity of the act named might be
tested In the higher courts. The attention Of
the court having been called to the fact that
defendant was not present, he suspended
judgment until he could be brought In.
