SMALL LIST OF CASES AT OPOTIKI SITTINGS. (From Our District Representative) There was very little business at the Opotiki Magistrate^s Court on Wednesday, the chief cases being prosecutions of Amy Hutt, Jaines Kelly and Edward Kelly for allowing stock to stray on the county roads'. Mr. A. E. Bunka.ll appeared for the county ranger, and Mr. N. Y. Hodgson for the defendants. Amy Hult was fined lOss and costs for allowinlg a bull to stray, and James and Edward Kelly were fined £2 and costs for allowing five horses and two horses respectively to stray. C. A. Smith, an accountant, of Gisborne, was fined £2 and costs for allowing tick-infested sheep to be sent ■•"o the saleyards. Mr. A. L. Arrowsmith, for defendant, explained that Mr. Smith', who was managing a deceased estate near Motu, had decided to abandon it and therefore inistructed the Gisborne N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Co. to remove the sheep and send them to the Opotiki saleyards. Neither the defendant nor the agents knew the state the sheep were in until they arrived in the saleyards.
