A city ordinance complaint for the offense of a dog running at large may also conclude with the words 'Contrary to the said ordinance'.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It may only be added in trial
• D. It cannot be added

Answer: (A)

When charging a dog running at large under a city ordinance, the charging document can end with a clause like "Contrary to the said ordinance" to show that the act violated the specific local rule. This phrasing directly links the conduct to the ordinance the person is alleged to have broken, serving as a concise way to express the basis of the offense without restating the ordinance in full. It’s a standard way to label the charge and keep the document clear and focused.

So this statement is true because such a concluding clause is an accepted part of the complaint or information, not something confined to trial or barred from use.
