4 \Thr Xiumtstra |lc (SEMI-WEEKLY.) WEDHE8DAY, OCT. 7, 104 JUDICIAL TUIBUTE TO THE C The dog, man's ever fail! friend, the one thai sticks to through thick and thin, alik prosperity or adversity, when all others desert him laX knows "where he is at' South Carolina. The Supr< Court has recently render* decision which not only fixes status in this State beyond peradventure, but adds new nity and importance to the u< animal. It appears that a r ,. oo ;,, . ,... n un lUVUllUVi ill nU?*UCIIJ' Ull charge oi stealing a dog. ' indictment was quashed by presidium judge at the ti Judge Cage, on the ground I a dog ha I no value ai propi under the old common law. appeal was taken by the 8 to ihe Supreme Court, wl tribunal reversed the judgtr ot the Cireuii Court. The O] ion was written by our dis guished fellow townsman, A ciate Justice Ira h. Jones, as it is unquestionably the ah dissertation on dog that lias t penned in many a day, we produce ?t least a part ot it follows : The first and principal ?|UcsUon sentcd is whether a dog is the sul of larceny. My the old common larceny could not he committed dog. '['lie reasons assigned for were tlie baseness of the nature of creature: that it was kepi for mere w ami pleasure: that being unlit for f it was oi no intrinsic value: tlint penalty for the felony of larceny too severe to apply for the stealii so contemptible a creature. My state of 10 < Jeorgo 111, eh. is (tie III. was fond of stag hunting . the ing ami carrying away of a dog made punishable, but not as Ian I'nder the reasoning satisfactory at day, it was larcenj to steal a i mm k, mil not larceny u> steal a I don. although it \\ us larceny to the hide ?>f a dead dog. Vet by common law dogs were hel I to be property as would sustain an actii trover for their recovery. t'ivil r dies were permitted for injury t loss of dogs, and they would go t( executors and administratots as j erly. The reason for the outlaw dogs in favor of thieves can hard! regarded as persuasive at this day here, and such crude application o principles of the common law i yield to common sense. The lime an animal for food is not the only 01 its valuoto mankind: its capaeit; useful service in other ways is < the real test of value. Nor is the that an animal is kept for the w and pleasure of its ow ner any so reason for excluding it from the la larceny as a thing of no value, amusement has its valuable use man. Neither is it just to say o dog that its nature is so base a render it unworthy of protection asolute property, for llaron ftivicr the dog is the ''completes!, the i singular, and the most useful con?i ever made by mail."
