The County Ranger’s report to the Westland County Council yesterday on wandering cattle found on the roads during the month included quite a number of offences in tlie Stafford-Golds-borough-Callaghans district. This caused Mr Duff to make a special appeal to 1 the Council to treat them as first oftenders as a warning. A general discus- | sion followed during which it was pointed out that some of the localities had no .fences while the residents nad been warned that any wandering cattle even jf not oil the road reserve were liable to be charged. This was stated to he incorrect, as cattle did not commit an offence if not on the road reserve. The Council recognising that there was considerable difficulty in the Northern district to keep cattle from wandering owing to absence to a large extent of . proper fencing, decided to accede to Air Duff’s plea which was supported by the j Chairman, and the owners whoso names j were reported by the Ranger, are on this occasion to receive a warning not 1 to offend again, by letter nstead of j having court proceedings taken against j them. i
