Such Was the nature of a complaint by the road foreman who sought some remedy for the nuisance. Cr Barron said that the horse would fetch £2 10/- as fqwi feed, but the Mayor opposed the laitniui animal ending its days in such an io-nominiqus manner, expressing the tope that Councillors would allow him to live out his „ days m peaceful freedom. Cr Robinson put forward the suggestion that the horse be placed 01 ; Matakarapa, across the nver, where there were thousands of ac- ' over which he could wander. _ This ivas agreed to and the animal will be transferred to Ins neAv -abode at an early date.
