Bowers v. Fitzrandolph
1 Add. 215
Pennsylvania Court of Common P...1794Check TreatmentWhether the dog was mad or not, he having bitten Fitzrandolph, the killing of him is justifiable. The dog was a nuisance: and every man may abate a nuisance. This is not the case of a dog set to guard property, and killed by a person interfering improperly. Such killing would not be justifiable.
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.
