A City bylaw providing that a person may not keep more than two dogs within the City without a kennel license was ruled ultra Vires in the Shpreme Court yest- erday by Mr. Justice M.R. Mc- Guigan. The ruling was made -in connection with an appeal by Mr. J.O.C. Campbell. 0.0, counsel for Miss Dorothy Fowler. Charlotte- town, who had been convicted in the City Magistrate's Court of having in her residence eight dogs. The appeal from the con- viction was allowcd by Mr. Justice McGulgan without costs when it was argued by Mr. Campbell that the City had no right to pass a bylaw which is not covered by its Act of Incorporation. Under section all of the Act, he pointed out, there was legislation governing the taxing, inpounding and running at large of dogs, but nothing about the keeping of dogs in a kennel. Mr. Campbell said that the case in question did not have to do with taxing or with running at large of Miss Fowler's dogs. He said that evidence point- ed to the fact that she kept them within her iesidence and she was within the law to lreep' two or tea dogs if she so chose to do. lie argued that the magistrate was not entitled to convict when legislation restricts. "The legis- lation says that the City may in dogs. it also states that you must keel! your dogs at home and if they are found running at large filly mly be killed." He continued. The pith and substance of this by-law has been directed against my client. It was passed by renal. ution of a City Council rneetin zvhlipltvllltad no power to pang gu

Kennel License By-law Is Ruled Ultra Vires

Mr. Cheverie was companiod

erred to the section of legislation dealing with dogs running at large, and pointed out that as a result ofl this legislation the Act had been

amended to allow for the issuing

of a kennel license at a charge of

315. He said it was not a case of how many dogs were being kept

but whether the appellant had a

properly constructed and approved

kennel. He. felt that the Council had

the right to enact a by-law in cases

where the keeping of dogs would

constitute an annoyance. . The Crown Counsel however ad-: mitted doubt that the City Councill had used the proper legislation in regard to the passing of the by-law. Mr. Campbell in summing up said that his clients dogs were not running at large neither were they being kept in an open kennel which might be interpret to constitute an annoyance. but inted out that the dogs were kept within the residence of the appellant where they would be no annoyance ex- cept to the occupants of the house. Justice MacGuigan in giving judgement said that until there was legislation dealing with this part.- icular phase of the Act. "the by- law was ultra vires and therefore the conviction could not stand.
