 It seems that the dog in question was the property of Samuel Friedman of Sa- vannah. While Mrs. Bertha Goodman was walking along the street the dog sprang at her, biting her in several places and infiictlng painful wounds She brought suit and recovered s4oO damages in the lower court.
 Friedman appealed to the supreme court, and made the claim that the dog was not naturally vicious, but inclined to be gen. tie, and that he simply had an aversion to the Goodman family because the children of that family were in the habit of throw ing rocks at him and otherwise plaguing him.
 The supreme court holds that Mrs. Good man had a good case, and declined to grant a new trial Friedman must pay tho S400
