"At 8 p.m. he received instructions from the C. V, S. to allow the dogs to be removed to Kowloan."
Cross-examined by Mr. F. H. Loseby defending, Sergeant Mc- Kay said that he detained the dogs because they were not allow- ed to be removed from the New Territories to Kowloon.

Mr. Laseby: On whose Instruc- tlans did you detain the dogs?—
Sergeant McKay: I had instructions to detain the dogs.
No instructions at all, at any time to detain the dogs? The ordinance says they are not al- lowed to be removed without a perralt.

You have got no Mr. Loseby: right to detain dogs just because you suspect that an offence may be committed, you know that don't you? In this case the offence would have been committed if the dogs were taken into Kowloon.
He admitted that he had stop- ped the coinmission of the offence. "He took out the simmons because defendant admitted that the dogs were being taken to Kowloon,
Is it not a fact that you receiv- ed instructions to issue, the sum- mans?--I received instructions to prosecute for dogs being taken from the New Territories.

You know, that is not so. The boundary is Boundary Street in New Kowloon..
The Magistrate:-New Kowloon is exempted from the New Terri- tories.

She was fined on the first charge only.
EUROPEAN REBUKEN
Why did you bring the charge when you were successful in carrying out your duty as a Police officer?-Miss Wylle told me she was taking the dogs into Kowloon. Why did you charge her with the commission of an offence which was not committed? They admitted they were taking the dogs to Kowloon.
