NOT DESTROYING RABBITS.
STATION HOLDER FINED £IOO. By Association. Oamaru, Last Night. At the Magistrate's Court .to-day, J. A. Sutton, of Waitangi station, was fined the maximum penalty of £IOO for failing to destroy rabbits. The amount constitutes a record, the previous heaviest, £7O, Toeing inflicted in the North Island. The Magistrate stated the maximum was hardly sufficient. The defendant was probably making a large profit from the skins. The station comprises 5600 acres, and the inspector states it is overrun with rabbits. The Magistrate stressed the fact that the lease was ceasing at the end of March, and that soldier settlement on the land was proposed, and the incoming tenants would be handicapped.
