April 1876: DAMAGES FOR SHOTING 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.
