At the Magistrate’s Court yesterday afternoon two charges were preferred against Ormond settlers for allowing their cattle to stray on the public road. Mr. J, W. Nolan represented the ranger ,of the Ormond Road Board (Mr. W. H. Jones), and defendants, Hugh Bionic and Stephen Sulilvan, who pleaded not guilty, were defended by Mr. T. Alston Coleman. " Evidence for the complainant was given by Alex. Parsons and G. E. Jones, and Mr. Coleman then asked permission to enter a plea of guilty! In doing so he asked for leniency. Mr. N olam asked for a substantial penalty as the defendant; Binnie had given the Ormond Road Board a great deal of trouble.
