 The city has employed as a dog
 
 oped sudden propensity for stealing dogs in order to show his proficiency and 10 swell his emOluments. It is a well established fact that the pound- master has no authority to enter the premises of any person and take there- from a dog, whether wearing tag or not, and when he does so trespass he becomes amenable to the charge of lar ceny. The present incumbent of that ssvory office has defianily entered pri- vate premises and forcibly seized dogs, some of which were valued highly on account of being the family pet.
