ANOTHER LEGAL DECISION. -Judge Van Vorst and a 

 jury, in Supreme Court, Circuit, were occupied during the 

 entire session yesterday in settling a dispute as to the owner- 

 ship of a diminutive Skye terrier. The clog disappeared from 

 Mr. Kane's residence at Newport, R. I., and was found m a 

 New York stable. John Tliearl, a coachman, said he 

 had purchased the dog of John Darling, another coach- 

 man, who said he had brought it from Newport. The 

 question whether Kane or Thearl owned the dog was to 

 be passed upon in that suit yesterday. Mrs. Kane declared 

 that the dog sho saw in TheaiTs possession was the pet she had 

 lost, and, on cross-examination, was positive she could now re- 

 cognize it among any number of dogs. Then five Skye terriers, 

 apparently exactly alike, were brought into court, and each 

 in turn was taken before her while on the witness stand, 

 from behind the jury box. She quickly answered as to 

 each of the four first produced, "That is not the dog," 

 but instantly the fifth appeared she said, "That is my dog." 

 Experts testified for the defendant that it was impossible to 

 indentify one Skye terrier, after the lapse, of two years? from 

 any other Skye terrier: that the dog in controversy was but 

 four years old, as appeared by its teeth, while the~ age of the 

 dog Mrs. Kane lost would now be nearly five years, and that 

 this was not, therefore, Mrs. Kane's dog. Darling, of whom 

 Thearl bought the dog, could not be produced, as he had a few 

 days ago suddenly left his employment here and gone to 

 Oregon. It was shown that he was in Newport in the summer 

 of 1881. Mr. Simon Sterne claimed on behalf of the defendant 

 that a dog was not property in the sense that a replevin action 

 could be maintained for its recovery. Judge Van Vorst held 

 that this was no longer so m this State, the. common-law rule 

 having been abrogated, and charged the jury that the only 

 question to be determined by them was whether the dog was 

 Mrs. Kane's property at the time Thearl claimed to have 

 bought it. It did not matter whether the dog had strayed or 

 been stolen, and was then sold by the thief or person who took 

 it up. A purchase from such person did not give title as against 

 the owner of the dog. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff, 

 assessing the value of the dog at §75, and awarding $35 

 damages in addition.— N. Y. -Sim. 



BOY AND DOG.— James Gessner and his wife called at sev- 

 eral police stations yesterday for news of their llwear old boy 

 Cornelius, who has been missing since May 1. His mother had 

 turned his little black dog out of the house, and Cornelius said 

 he would go with the dog. . "I met some boys up town," Mr. 

 Gessner said, "and they told me that they saw him uear 

 Tweiity-third street and Second avenue last Saturday. He 

 was cuddled up in the doorway of a big building asleep with 

 the dog. They said they tried to get lirm to come home, but 

 he ran away. Mi-, Doherty, my neighbor, saw him upon 

 Second avenue on Monday with the dog. A policeman had a 

 talk with him on Tuesday, and the dog was with him." — V. Y. 

 Sun. * 



ROYALIST.— Editor Forest and Stream: Please note in 

 your paper that the Millbrook Kennel's smooth-coated St. Ber- 

 nard dog Royalist, second prize at the New York show, had 

 only arrived from England the Friday previous, after a four- 

 teen days 7 passage. He was seasick all the time, and did not 

 eat more than five meals on the voyage. His weight when 

 in good form is 170 pounds. He lost some 35 pounds coming 

 over. He is very big-boned and massive, and will not be 

 "lanky" in a month from now.— W. TV. Tucker (New York. 

 May 15).

 show to be held at Chicago June 10, 11, 12 and 14 promises to be
