THE IMPOUNDING ACT.
THE POWER OF RANGERS. A matter of considerable interest to farmers was discussed at Tuesday's meetiny of the Kairanga County Council, when a letter was tabled from the council's solicitor (Mr Tunes), dealing with the Impounding Act, and the loyal rights of farmers and ranyers in handling -lock wandering on the roads (ml on private lands. The letter defined the legal position as follows: — The main duty of the ranger is to impound stock wandering on the public roads of the county (sec. 17 of ihe Act). As to trespassing stock on private hands, the owner of the land may impound such stock on his own land; give notice to the owner of the stock, and if they are not released within two days, lie may drive them to the nearest pound, or may restore them to the owner and claim the usual trespass rates. The ranger is under no duty to impound cattle from land in private occupation at the request of the owner of such land. The owner or occupier of land on which stock are trespa-siny is legally entitled to turn such slock off his*premises on to the road.
