"THE SOLICITOR AND HIS DOG "Mr. John George Wylie, a solicitor, residing at Redcott, Upper Richmond Road, Putney, appeared at the Wandsworth Police Court to answer a summons at the instance of Mr. Charles Higgins, for unlawfully detaining a collie dog.―Mr. W. Higgins, who represented the complainant, explained that on July 20 last a police-constable found the dog near the Hammersmith Bridge and took it to the Dog's Home in Battersea. The complainant purchased it of the authorities, and the defendant's groom, meeting it in the streets, took possession of it forcibly, and applications for its return having been refused, his client decided upon instituting these proceedings. The complainant would consent to the defendant returning the dog if he paid the purchase price and other expenses amounting to 30s., but this he had refused to do.―The defendant pointed out that it was a bona fide question of title, and not a matter for that court.―Mr. Plowden said that did not dispose of his right to hear the case.―The defendant admitted the facts, and expressed his willingness to refund the complainant the money he paid for the dog, and this he believed was 15s. The dog was given to him, and he wished to keep it, as he was fond of it. Mr. Plowden: If I was King Solomon I would say cut it in two. (Laughter.) The Defendant: But I am the real mother. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Plowden thought the defendant had made a most reasonable offer, and did not know what more the complainant wanted. Mr. Higgins said his client had purchased a nuzzle for the dog, a brass collar with his name engraved upon it, and other things, which he thought the defendant should pay for. Mr. Plowden said the defendant could not be called upon to pay for those things, and he adjourned the summons for a few minutes to enable the complainant to consider if he would accept the offer, the defendant remarking that he had in addition to the 15s. consented to pay 5s. to defray what had been expended in keeping the dog. The complainant had a long consultation with his counsel on the subject. Overtures were also made to the defendant, and as the complainant was reluctant to accept Mr. Wylie's offer the case was proceeded with. Mr. M. Colam, the secretary of the Dogs' Home, was called to prove the reception of the dog into the institution, and its sale to the complainant. Mr. Higgins, the complainant, in his evidence, enumerated the articles he had bought. He said the muzzle was of no use to him. Mr. Plowden: No use to you, but of use to another dog. (Laughter). The complainant's counsel thought the defendant had acted somewhat severely, but Mr. Plowden was of opinion that he had acted very fairly, and in a generous spirit. The defendant mentioned that he wrote to the complainant offering to pay the 30s. if he would explain how the money was expended. He received no reply to this communication, but the summons. He was prepared now to pay the 30s. if the articles purchased by the complainant were handed over to him. The complainant said he was prepared to hand over the things, but he had been put to other expenses―his railway fares and so on. Mr. Plowden: You may as well ask for your school fees disbursed twenty years ago. (Laughter.) The summons was formally adjourned to enable the defendant to pay the money and the complainant to hand over the articles." - The Sheffield Evening Telegraph and Star, Wednesday, 10 September 1890.
