CRUELTY TO A HORSE.
SEVEN DAYS’ IMPRISONMENT. Auckland, July 7. A shocking case of cruelty to animals was disclosed at the Police Court to-day, when a hawker named Harry Compton had to answer a charge of having worked a horse while it was suffering from a sore back. Inspector Alder, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw Compton with his horse and cart at the city market this morning, and noticing blood oozing out from under the saddle on the horse, inspected it. Just under the saddle was a bole of festering flesh large enough for a man’s closed hand to lie in. After viewing the animal Mr Cutten, S.M., said that lor such an inhuman offence defendant would have to suffer. He would be sent to prison for seven days.
