Interesting to Sheep Farmers
fPEB UNITED PHISS ASSOCIATION) JJapieb, February 1. i A case of considerable importance to sheep farmers and to ownors of j dogs was heard to-day before Mr Proece, E.M. Marchaut, lately the possessor of two dogs, sought to recover from Moore. and. Mertzhager, of Waimarama, the sum of £30, under the following circumstances : — L The defendants suffered through their sheep being worried by doj?s, aud Moore one day finding a couple of dogs among his sheep, apparently iv the act of worrying them, killed both' the ; dogs. Mr Marchant, owner of the 1 animals denied that they had worried the sheep, and relied upon the fact of the dogs being yoked together when ■ found as a proof that the alleged wori rying was impossible. Mr Dick, on i behalf of the plaintiff, quoted a case in which the value of dogs killed was recovered, the animals having been caught among: sheep, and led awaj r and killed. Mr Ootterell, for defendants, urged that the law and facts were against the plaintiff, and that the ease quoted was not similar in any way to the one before the Court, as in that the dogs were killed among the sheep. His Worship gave judgment for the defendants.
