Monro, Inspector of Sheep, with having 200 sheep not properly branded. Mr Monro briefly stated the case as brought under the 15th section of the Act, which fixed a penalty on all sheep unbranded of any sum not exceeding £10 per head. He stated, howo.ver, that ha- believed the present casu to ho ono of ommission only, aud, therefore, had uo wish to press for any penalty at all, but would leave the matter entirely m the hands of the Court. The defendant pleaded guilty, and the Court inflicted a fine of 3d per head and 7s costs, m all £2 17s.
