DOG REGISTRATION ACT.
To the Editor. Sir.—Seeing one -or two questions in your last Friday's paper put to me, I con- * elude they are for me to answer. How was the Magistrate to know whether the dog was registered even on the 9th of May? By the registration ticket being produced in Court, which showed that I * did not plead guilty. 1 pleaded guilty to not registering the dog before the 26th of April, as I could do nothing else, so the case ought to have been dismissed, as has been done in other Courts- of Law within Canterbury. Next, why did I not show the receipt to the police, on the summons being served? Being: absent from home at the time, I could not, but the police _, were told by my wife that the dog was registered, so if-the; officer had asked for the receipt he would have seen it, which &c did not, but told my wife to produce the reoeipt in Court, I will not trouble *■ you any further.—Yours, etc.. C. MILLER.
