CRUELTY TO HORSE
EMPLOYER AND MAN FINED (From Our Otrn Correspondent) PUKEKOHE, Wednesday. A butcher’s deliveryman and one of his employers were fined at the Pukekohe Court yesterday for cruelly illtreating and permitting to be illtreated. two horses with sore backs. Noticing a bay horse ridden by Archibald Robert Barber, twitching, a constable inspected the animal and found a raw, swollen patch under the saddle, the iron of which was bare and and the only protection afforded was from a sack. When questioned. Barber admitted using another horse also in a bad condition. Barber, in evidence, said the former horse was brought from the owners’ farm. Observing the sores, he reported to one of the partners in the firm, S. Marshall, who directed him to apply grease to the affected parts, use the animal to deliver meat required urgently, and to turn the horse out to graze. The magistrate, Mr. F. H. Levien, dismissed a charge against J Beatty, of the firm of Beatty and Marshal, stating that he apparently did not have a direct knowledge of the condition of the horses. Barber was fined £4 and Marshall £3.
