AN INSPECTOR'S WORD.
THE LAW MAKES IT FINAL. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. A rabbit destruction case, which had been sent back from the Supreme Court on appeal, was fin.'illv deposed of this morning by Mr. Day, S.M. The case had been brought by the rabbit inspector aeainst Richard Candy, sheep farmer, on Bank's Peninsula. At tho original hearing the ease had been dismissed. In entering a conviction, the magistrate said that the Act held lie must , accept the inspector's word that rabbits had not been destroyed. The fact that i a magistrate could not go bivond tha ' word of an inspector was a serious mat- ( ter, and one for the farming eommuiiitj to take up. He cait no reflection on ; the inspector in the present ease, but it i was open to an unscrupulous inspector ' to lay nn information, and the Court would have to take hia word. Ho would j not penalise defendant, and there would s be no costs.
