A HARD CASE.
To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sib, —Will you give me space in your columns to state a grievance I suffer from in the shape of the Dog Tax. Now, sir, I was fined L2 for a dog that was in my possession only three days, beeause 1 was ignorant that the dog should be destroyed, although I gave it to a carrier to take away. My family have had to live on short allowance last winter, and last week five shillings was all the money I brought home up to Friday ; so if the Government does not reduce this tax, every poor person had better hang or drown their dogs. I am &c., George Sutton. Dunedin, November 5.
