A Greymouth correspondent states in an exchange: “There recently occurred near Cronadun one of the worst forms of cruelty. A valuable horse in the pink of condition was taken from a paddock. It had beeu newly shod, and was left in a wellsecured paddock, but the shoes were removed by the miscreant to evade any trace of its exit from, the paddock. Five weeks later the horse was discovered where it had been chained to a tree. It had eaten the , tree through, and had been living entirely on the, wood. When found it was a mere skeleton, and its Tioofs were worn past bearing shoes for some time.
