BIG GAME HUNTER'S SHOT AT GLAMOUR
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.
Members 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. Pollock occupied a poultry farm and in January, 1936, he wrote to the secretary of the Ash Vale Harriers saying that he did not wish any part of the hunt-and particularly dogs-to pass over his land,

If there is a recurrence I shall take measures to check it, which will be most unfortunate for the animals concerned."
Mr.. Poltock'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,|
