Sixty-three lambs, the property of Messrs Nicoll Bros., were discovered smothered in an accommodation paddock al the junction of the Long Bay and Christchurch-Akaroa main highway, Takamatua, recently. There were 400 lambs put in the paddock overnight and when the drover went to remove them he found the lambs smothered in the lower corner. It is thought that a dog caused the loss during the night by driving the sheep into the corner of the paddock, which is steep. The lambs showed no sign of being worried. The lambs came from the Long Bay district and were bound for the freezing works.
