INFECTED SHEEP OFFENCES.
- (To the Editor.) Sir, —I notice, in your issue of the 29th that Inspector Hubbard stated that as there had been no visible diminution in the number of these offences, it was evident - that sheepowners did not take warning from the fines inflicted at the last sitting of the court. These fanners and dealers exposed their sheep for sale on the 12th March. The Court sat on the 14th March. How does the Inspector bring in this charge ? They are asked to take warning before fines are inflicted in regard to the first offences. As proof of this, at the next sale (Waipoua) two days before the last number are fined, he did not get a single case, showing that farmers and dealers d'o take warning. The Inspector also remarked in Court that "if it had been exceptional weather," etc. What does he mean by "exceptional weather?'' I could point out places in tibis district that were dry this ye'ar, that have not been so since we had so dry a, summer some years ago. Another question: Why are some fined 40s and .some 20s? —I am, etc., INTERESTED. • Masterton, March 31, 1913. -
