OTAUTAU.
The Western District A. nnd P. Association Committee met on Monday to arrange a Show programme. The total of the prizes was increased by £l4 Ids. A special prize of a cap will be given for the best draught horse and a cup for the best draught mare, and for the jumping competition prizes of £2 and a special of £2 are offered. Mr T. W. Kennedy, of Raymond's Crap, has a crossbred ewe which has given birth to five lambs. All are living and doing well. The Railway Commissioners had five of the residents before the R. M. on Wednesday week for cattle trespass on the railway. All the cases were heard at once, and the fee of the solicitor for the Commissi mers was £2 2s, which on the five cases amounted to £lO 10s. The total costs for each cow trespassing on the line was £3. The owners are all poor working men, and the opinion is freeiy expressed that in these times the Commissioners, while providing for public safety, might well have avoided piling up the expenses at this rate. A layman would naturally conclude that when the cases were heard together one fee would have sufficed, but then the law is one of those things “no fellah can understand.”
