THE DOG IN COURT.

A recent issue OF Law Notes olteS the case OF
Wiley VS.. Slater, arising in the courts OF New
York, as showing field fertile in disputatlon
in which no legal waymarks have hitherto been
erected either by statutory or courtmade law.
The case grew out of canine alteration into
which the owners of the dogs were drawn rath-
er as endorsers than as principals; and the case
as it came before the New York judiciary ap-
pears to have hinged upon the suffciency of the
his lawful right if it existed, to the ultima ratio
regum, which in this case was his teeth.
The question was new to the justices and they
frankly admitted that they were on a charter
less sea and would gladly give thousand fur
longs of it for an acre of barren ground on
which a legal budapest could be found. They
disclaimed all knowledge of the code duello
among dogs, and Of what violation of canine
etiquet, what insult, slight or degree of jealousy
constituted just cause of offense and war
ranted demand for prompt and appropriate
satisfaction. The learned judges declined
therefore to pass upon that point; but upon the
broader question of the right of dog to
Iavenge In his own way what he considered a
wrong or insult put upon him, the distinguished
jurists we're on surer ground. They regarded
this as an indefensible right and privilege
which dogs did not surrender on acquiring do
mesticated status AS far as they are aware
there is no law, human, divine, moral, cere-
monial, common or statutory which can be held
to limit or impair this inherent natural canine
right, supported as it is by the widely accepted
semi authoritative dictum that all members of
the canine family may properly delight to
bark and bite, for God hath made them 500
The decision IN this notable case is therefore
a landmark, and may be said to establish the
principle that it is not within the jurisdiction of
courts to inpugn wrongful or improper motives
Ito canine belligerent He must be assumed to
have an adequate casus beli, to be the sole
judge of his provocation, and to act within his
rights in precipitatmg conflict, over scrap Of
paper If he will. For all we know there may be
some twist of the tail which is challenge to
him which cannot be ignored or some short and
ugly vocal note which is fighting word no self
respecting dog can refuse to resent. AS for the
owner of dog, it would appear that no degree
of crininality attaches to him for any assault
committed by his dependent on a canine adver-
sary, unless he was accessory before the fact
and inshgated encouraged the affray. The
epoch making decision Of these doglaw Daniels
probably will be generally accepted as Solom-
onic and just
