It was stated by Constable Kelly that the case was not one of an ordinary dog fight. The animals had been fighting for some time. Though distressed, they were urged to continue. Mr Salmon arrived on the scene, and, actuated by humanitarian motives, proceeded to separate the combatants. But he was thrown roughly aside by the accused, who was one of a considerable crowd, and continued to urge the dogs to fight.
