HORSE DESTROYED
WRIT FOR £7OO ISSUED. NEGLIGENCE ALLEGED. AUCKLAND, October 20. A writ has been issued by Me-rvyn Wells, of Cambridge, against N. Austin, boiling down works proprietor, of Onelninga, claiming £7OO damages for the loss of the racehorse Loving Cup, which, it is alleged, was negligently destroyed. At the last Great Northern meeting at Ellerslie Glen Maree, also owned by Wells, ran fourth in the Hunt Hurdles on the first day, but broke down badly in the Hunt Cup on the second day. After obtaining veterinary advice, it was decided to destroy Glen Maree, Wells giving instructions to that effect. On the third day Loving Cup, after running second in the Orakei Hurdles was sent back to bis stables, where Glen Maree was also quartered. Later that day Loving Cup was destroyed, instead of Glen Maree, and tho legal action is the result.
