BIG GAME HUNTER'S SHOT AT FOXHOUND COSTS HIM £11
Wounded Dog He Meant To Kill
A
POULTRY-BREEDER and former big game hunter, whose "shot to kill" a trespassing foxhound only succeeded in wounding the animal, was fined £5 and order- ed to pay £6.8s. 6d. costs by Axminster (Devon) magis- trates recently,
The man, Frederick Philip Poltock, of Kota Pundok, Woodhouse Hill, Uplyme (Devon), was summoned for causing unnecessary suffering to a dog.
Membors and followers of the Axe Vale Harriers, to whom the animal belonged, filled the court.
Mr. J. McGahey, of Exeter, prosecuting for the R.S.P.C.A., said Mr. Poltock occupied a poultry farm and in January, 1936, he wrote to the secretary of the Ash Vale Harriera saying that he did not wish any part of the hunt--and particularly dogs--to pass over his land.
The letter was not answered, and in April another sent by Mr. Poltock complained that dogs had crossed his land. He added: "Please understand that this nuisance must cease im- medintely. If there is a recurrence I shall take measures to check it, which will be most unfortunate for the animals concerned."
Mr. Pollock's solicitors then wrote threatening an in- junction.
A reply was sent pointing out that it was impossible to make a fox run in a desired direction, but promising to keep clear of the land "so far as is humanly possible."
Mr. McCahey said that from April, 1936, the hunt scrupulously kept away from Mr. Poltock's land, but on December 3 the fox took the hounds
in that direction and two or three of them did trespass.
