Servants Instructed.

He had instructed his servants

to have the animal muzzled or tied up in the house. He could not re- member precisely what he did that afternoon, but in the ordinary course of events he should return home shortly before dinner, at a quarter to eight.

His Worship pointed out that. under the Ordinance, defendant could not be held responsible as he was away from home at the time and had stated that he had given all instructions to his servants.

Inspector Logan:--He is the owner of the dog. and ought to take proper precautions to see that the dog is tied up.

His Worship decided to dismiss the summons.

Dr. Koch Summoned.

Dr. W. V. M. Koch, who was next summoned for a similar offence remarked: I had two animals. I should like to know which one it

was.

Sub-Inspector Logan having replied that it was a black-and- white terrier that he saw, Dr. Koch next asked:-1 should like to knew whether this Inspector saw it muzzled.

Inspector Logan said the eir- cumstances in this case were the same as in the previous one. Dr. Koch's anima; being seen on the roadway to the south side of Dr. Wellington's house.
