Court rose while his worship perused written argument. On resumbtion 'there was a pro- longed discussion regarding the definition of "running at large." The magistrate raised the quest- ion of elogs roaming through a neighbor's premises, and Mr. Hunter said it was not "at large" unless it went on the street to go from one property to another: - "In my opinion," he added; "it is ultra vires of the city of London to pass a bylaw re- quiring dogs to be on leash at all times. That is beyond the scope of the Act." In arriving at his judgmbnt. the magistrate said: "I wonder how far down should reach in' the basket to see what re. mains.
