IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION. BEFORE HIS HONOUR MR. H. H. J GOMPEUTZ (PUÍSKE JUDGE.)
A DOG CASE.
A W. Ilott, chief timekeeper at Shatin of the Kowloon Canton-Railway, claimed from Constable Grant $225 damages for injuring plaintiff's dog. Mr. Holborow appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Goldring for the defendant.
Mr. Halborow, is opening, suggested that the motive in the case was malice on the part of dafondant. When plaintiff wrote to the defend aut saying he had been informed that defendant bad shot his dog, defendant wrote a curt reply saying "I did shoot your dog. You are correctly informed.“
A Chinese cook in the employ of plaintiff stated that his master's four dogs ran out on June 8th and barked at the defendant's dogs which were following him. Plaintiff's dogs did not leave the compound but defendant pulled out a revolver, and firod at one of plaintiff's doge. His first three shots missed but the fourth hit the dog on the thigh,
His Lordship was informed that the dog was only injured.
Mr. Holborow--The value of the dog is not
an element in this case
His Lordship-The value of the dog is one of the elementa.
Mr. Holborow-The value of the dog is not, my lord. The element is the value of the dog to my client.
Pelit Parisien remarks:
We have not to
appreciate the torms of the sentence, but to bow before the indisputable verdict of the judges. It will be enough for me to recall list for the second time in recent history it has been possible to avoid a threatening conflict by recourse to an axbitial-solution. The Casa Blanca affair between France and Germany has been settled as poucefully na the Hull affair between England and Russia was settled before it. Who would not find matter for congratulation in this result, and who, indeed, would dare to say that this procedure has not safeguarded the dignity and vital interests of the two nations at issue!"
