NUISANCE
In order, if possible, to prevent Nuisances, and to shew the Public the
penalties that may be imposed on persons who suffer Dogs to go at large, we
subjoin the heads of the Act of Parliament on the subject:
By the 36, Geo. 3, cap. 55, it is enacted that "Any person keeping a dog in
any public stand or highway, it shall and may be lawful for day persons
whatsoever to kill such dog, without being sued or prosecuted for so doing;
and further, any person owning a dog which is allowed to go at large, on
being summoned before any Justice of the Peace, it shall and may be lawful
for said Justice to fine any person so offending, in any sum not exceeding
five pounds; and to dispose of said dog as he shall think fit; and notice is
hereby given, that the law on this head will be immediately enforced."

The following brief statement of facts will be the best reply to an article
in the Advertiser of Saturday last, in which an unfounded imputation is
sought to be fastened on the conduct of our present respected Chief
Magistrate:
In the month of June last, three sawyers, (John ROCHFORT, Stephen CONNOLLY,
and Thomas BURKE,) were convicted upon the clearest evidence, before the
Mayor and Mr Manus BLAKE, for a combination, and for having, as combinators,
entered the yard of some of their fellow tradesmen, whose names they broke.
Having a right to appeal to the Quarter-Sessions, they availed themselves of
it, and their case came on to be tried last July Sessions, when an offer was
made to swear a Jury to try the issue, which they declined, declaring by
their Attorney, Mr. BATH, "that they were perfectly satisfied to be tried by
the Bench of Magistrates,"- After a very long trial, during which they were
most ably defended by their truly respectable Attorney, Mr. BATH, the
conviction was confirmed, and they were sentenced to be imprisoned three
calendar months, or to pay a fine of five pounds, pursuant to the 19th and
20th Geo. 3d.
Having thus stated the facts of the case, we shall, for the present, avoid
making any further comment, as the matter will undergo and investigation
before the King's Bench- a full report of which, the public may rest
satisfied shall be laid before him.
