THE DOG NUISANCE.
TO TUV. EDITOR OF THE FBILDISG STAJ. Sib, — Bad as the dog nuisance was before, it hi s fair now to be worse than ever. It was only the othei day I was riding across Manchester Square, wher. my horse (a danger .us one when he gc>:>.. the opportunity) was attaced byahord* of dogs which were lurking in tho vicinity of ihe Feilding Hotel. One of the dogbit the horse on the leg, and he began to kick and plunge violently. I hadbthe greatest difficulty to keep in the saadlo-, and owing to the awkward manner si! uated — holding a bundle before me. on the s ddle — and consequently having yery li r tie co i.-mand over the horse ha^fif?ra .. ~ off, I should in all probability hWbvici with n serious accident. Sir, the question naturally arises, can all the multitude of dogs which infest every corner of the town be. registered? It is open to grave doubt. Had a collector been appointed by the Council at a per centage on receipt of dog tax, whose pecuniary intert-sc would be to enforce registration of rill doss, there soon would be a sensiblediminution of their number.— -I am, &c., Dog Tax.
