Sessions: The first witness called was Stephen Bourn, jobber, who said—On Thursday, 12th inst., I was walking on the Guildford road towards Strood, when I me the defendant driving a dog-cart with a dog towards Horsham, at the rate of thirteen or fourteen miles an hour. I know the defendant well. He is living at Ewhurst. The ground was level and the dog appeared much fatigued. After the defendant met me I saw him continue on the road for about thirty or forty rods, during which time he continued driving at the same place. He flogged the dog as he passed me. Cross-examined by Mr Browne—You had either a stick or whip. Can't say which. Mr Browne—Will you swear I hit the dog with either a whip or stick?—You hit the dog with something. Mr Bigg—What sort of a dog was it?—It was a spotted dog. Can't say of what breed. It was not a large dog. Cross-examination continued—It was about eight o'clock when I met you. Mr Brown—Do you consider it was light enough to see whether I had a stick or not?—You had something with which you hit the dog. Mr Browne—When did you first say I had a stick<—There were others saw you besides me. Mr Fitzgerald—That is no answer at all; you must give an answer to the question. Witness—I said so the same evening I met you. Mr Browne—You said in your evidence I was driving on level ground; now will you swear there are three yards of level ground between Strood gate and the brock. It was there you met me? Yes, I will. Mr Browne—Now I wish you to be particular about the spot where you met me, because I am certain if I were riding at anything like the pace you have stated it must have been very much on the descent. Where [sic] you sober at the time (laughter)?—Yes, I had had only one glass of ale during the day. Mr Browne—Did I strike the dog violently?—You struck him. Mr Bigg—Did he strike the dog violently?—Yes, he did. Mr Browne—Did you notice if I were driving with a cord for reins?—No, Can't say whether you hit the dog with a rope or stock, or what, but you him him with a something. [ . . . ] Bourn, on being recalled and questioned by the defendant said, "I might have met a horse and cart just before I met you but I am not certain." [ . . . ] Mr Commerell continued— [ . . . ] I saw Bourne afterwards and mentioned the circumstance to him; he was not drunk. [Brown fined 20s and costs, or two months' imprisonment.] |
