It will be remembered that thi3 case was partly heard last Court day, and was for the recovery of the sum of £100 for injuries which it was alleged the female plaintiff received through a bite of the defendant's dog. A number of witnesses were examined on that occasion, when the case lasted over five Hours. As on the former occasion, Mr. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. B. Russell for the defendant. By request of the learned counsel, the Magistrate read over the whole of the evidence taken last Court day. Mr. Hesketh said he had witnesses to disprove the statement of the witness Q-leeson, who last Court day stated that he was married to Mrs. Duffy. ■ His Honor said that the question 'of marriage or no marriage would have no weight whatever with the Court. The main question was whether or no the plaintiff was bitten by defendant's dog in a public place. There was no proof that the woman was not Duffy's wife—quite the contrary. ■' : : Mr. Russell addressed the Court at considerable length on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Hesketh then addressed the Court, and contended that the plaintiff was fully entitled to a verdict.
The Court deferred judgment until next Court day.
