Counsel said accused had. tied a collie dog on a chain about six feet long at Wylie's Crossing. He then attached it to his motor-cycle and drove to Mosgiel. The dog could not keep up with tho speed of tho motor-cycle, and the pails were torn off its fore feet. The dog subsequently died. Tho animal must have been tossed about badly in trying to get on its feet, as its soles were actually torn off. Tho Magistrate, in inflicting the fine, said that it was only after considerable hesitation that ho had decided not to send the accused to gaol. The only fit punishment was for tho accused to bo dragged behind a motor-cycle for a few miles.
