CRUELTY TO DOGS.
SHEPHERD FINED (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") CHBISTCHU.BCH, This Day. A collio and her five little pups, nine days.old, shivered, squeaked, and barked under tho remains of an old watercart in'a City. Council section in St. David street on one of tho many stormy nights of last week. There were pools of water under the old cart, which served as a dog kennel. Tho collie and her pups remained there till 2 o'clock in the morning, when the occupier of a neighbouring house- rose from his bed and took the animals to bettor shelter. These circumstances were related in the Magistrate's Court yesterday, when Lawrence George Fraser, a shepherd, was charged with cruelty. "I can hardly trust myself to say what I think of a man who would treat his dog as you have treated these," said-the Magistrate, Mr. C. B. OrrWalker. "The most effective way I can say it is to-fine you £7 10s and costs."
