No Lone Dog May Bay The Moon.

The new Kent control OF dogs
order, 1908, provides that no dog
shall be allowed out between the
hours of sunset and sunrise without
being under proper restraint. and
the first SUMMONS under this order
was heard at Bromley. when Edward
Gillian. of ST. Annes Lodge, was
summoned for allowing his dog to be
out alone at night.
The defendant said that the dog
must have either broken loose or
have been decoyed away. He hoped
that now they would have proper
police protection and that It would
not be necessary to keep a dog. His
place had been broken into and moth
ing had been discovered about the
perpetrators.
The bench said that as It was a
new order. with which the public
we're not generally acquainted, II
would only order the payment Of
costs, but it would be well for the
public Of Kent to make a note Of
the order.
