CRUELTY TO SHEEP
AGENTS' RESPONSIBILITIES (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) : ' HASTINGS, This Day. The stock agent for Hoadley, Son, ana Stewart, Ltd., and the stock agent for. the Hawkes Bay Farmers' Co-opera-tive-were each separately charged at the Court yesterday, on-the information of the inspector of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with omitting to dag a sheep entered for sale in the yards, and for putting a sheep into the yards for sale while suffering from foot-rot. The defence was that no responsibility rested with the companies, who had only to sell the sheep, and had no knowledge as to the condition of the sheep until they appeared in the yards. After the evidence, the Magistrate, Mr. Mowlem, convicted the defendants in both instances, saying that the cases were in the nature of a test as to the firms' and their agents' responsibilities. In order to allow an appeal, a fine of £5 Is was inflicted in each case, with costs. Application was made for security for appeal. _____
