in allowing ferOcious dog to go abroad.
Richard Gaylord testified that the dog
has bitten his dog and also himself. He
tried once to cut the dogs throat but the
knife went aside of the right place. A
Portuguese neighbor of defendant swOre
the dog was cross to horses. He Reid
testified that the dog had attacked him
SO often and so viciously that he had to
change his route hOmeward in order to
avoid the brute.
Several witnesses swore that they
knew nothing bad about the dog-one
that it was playful creature; another,
it was quiet dog so far as he knew;
and defendant, that he never heard it
was vicious dog, and Gaylord was the
only one that ever spoke about the ami
NAL. Still another witness was pro-
duced, who solemnly deposed that he
did not see this dog attack the little
dog"
Hon. J. L. Kaulukou spoke elOquently
in Hawaiian about an hour for the de-
tense. Col. Ashford replied for the pro-
secution, citing the late Josh Billings
learned essay on "The Dorg," and add
ing that while he had unfortunately been
unable to follow opposite counsel, he
presumed that his eloquent effort was
another erudite disquisitiOn upon the
canine race. 1t was clear that the dog
had bitten complaining witness and was
habitually vicious: therefore, according
to the Civil Code, it was competent for
anybody to shoot the dog. With the
horror of hydrophobia on mems minds,
this was a serious matter, and the Court
should order the dog shot. Mr.. Kaulu
kou, interrupting, cOntended the dog
could not be executed until the owner
disregarded a warning to keep the brute
confined.
The Court at length had its say, which
was CnaC the QOS n06O not De killed.; Out
if it scared a horse and the horse killed
anybody, after this trial, then the owner
might be indicted for manslaughter.
His honor fined defendant 81 and $40
costs. Appeal noted to the Supreme
Court. The trial lasted about two hours
and a half. Y. V. Ashford assisting pro-
secution; J. L. Kaulukou for the defense.
