WHEN DOGS BARK
IDENTIFICATION NOT PROVED SHEEP-WORRYING CASE Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. Reserved judgment was given to-day by Mr. E. Page, S.M., in the case in which Arthur Wilson, farmer, Johnsonville, claimed £176 damages from Robert Hogg, Samuel Hogg, and Lionel Bramley in respect to alleged sheepworrying by dogs. The question, Mr. Page said, was. were the dogs adequately identified. The professed identification was based mainly on three items, the view of th© terrier obtained on the third night of the worrying by plaintiff and his companion, the view of the sheep-dog obtained by a neighbour, and the sound of the barks claimed to be identical with the barks heard previously. He had come to the conclusion on the whole of the evidence that th© plaintiff had not discharged the onus on him of proving his case. Judgment was given with costs to scale.
