BRUTAL SAVAGERY.
A HORSE ILL-TREATED. Timaru, November 27. At Temuka to-day, before Mr Alosley, S.M., Ashbome Henderson, farm manager and David Tripney, farm labourer, pleaded not guilty to a chaige of cruelly ill-treating a horse. The evidence of passers-by was to the effect that Henderson * was seen mercilessly pounding the horse with a heavy willow stake, felling the animal which was afterwards yoked to a heavy Cambridge roller, the horse being still beaten. Henderson next set fire to a bundle of dead gorse under the horse. The Inspector of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gave evidence that the horse was burned and the flesh was raw. The defence was that the horse refused work and a battle'for mastery ensued between man and beast. The fire, allegedly, was lighted to frighten the horse to subjection. . The Alagistrate complimented the witnesses on coming forward in the interests of justice, and sent Henderson, who" was on crutches with a broken leg, to three months’ imprisonment, while Tripney was fined £5 and costs £3 13/-.
