Dog stealing is punishable on summary conviction, for the first offence, by six months' imprisonment and hard labour, or fine not exceeding 20l. beyond the value of the dog. A second offence is, however, an indictable misdemeanour, punishable by imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding eighteen months.
