The saddle and bridle were given to him to ride to Taupo from Tokano, where he wa» to give them to Mr Gallagher. He came through on foot, s and said he left the saddle and bridle at Tokano, but he told different tales to several people, so he was charged with the theft, and Constable Pegley started in pursuit.
