DAMAGES FOR SHOOTING
A DOG. An action to recover the sum of £10, the value of a dog which was
alleged to have been wantonly shot at Great Ayton, on the 6th of March last,
was heard before Mr E R Turner, Judge, at Stokesley County Court, yesterday.
The case, which was tried by a jury, excited considerable interest, and the
court was crowded during the hearing of the suit. The plaintiff, for whom Mr
Dale, of York, appeared, was William Farndale, a joiner, living at great Ayton,
and the defendant was Thomas Hogg, a clerk, nineteen years of age, residing at
Nunthorpe, who was represented by Mr Fawcett, of Stockton. The shooting at the
dog was admitted. The dog was described as a black and tan retriever, and a
quiet, docile, harmless creature, much thought off by the plaintiff, and
everyone who knew it. It was six years old, and had never shown any symptoms of
rabies. On the night of the 6th ult, it accompanied its master to the Buck
Hotel, where it remained an hour and a half, being patted and fondled in the
meanwhile by several persons in the house; and it was alleged that on its way
home by itself it was deliberately shot, and had its head nearly blown from its
body. The defence was that the dog had shown a ferocity on the road, which left
no doubt in the minds of several persons that it was mad. It attacked to Mr
Hauxwell, who, however, was fortunate enough to get out of the way, and it fell
into a ditch by the roadside, where it lay frothing at the mouth, and
attempting to bite everything near it. This led the defendant, after a short
consultation with several persons standing round, to borrow a gun from Mr
Hauxwell, and shoot the poor animal. A number of witnesses were examined on
both sides. A veterinary surgeon, who examined the body of the dog, found no
symptoms of rabies. His Honour held that no one had a right to shoot dog, even
supposing it was mad, unless it was necessary to do so to protect themselves.
In the present case he thought the dog had been shot unwarrantably and he
recommended the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiff, but not for the
amount claimed. The jury, after deliberating some minutes, returned a verdict
for the plaintiff for £5 and costs, to be paid 8s months. (Northern Echo, 29
April 1876)
