SHEEP WORRYING.
Early on Tuesday mornin<: a flock of owes, the pripcrty of Mr Andrew Casey, of Tairahere, which were depasturing in Miss Badham's paddock, Hamilton East, wit■ worried and dispersed oy dogs. Several of the sliaep were killed, or so maimed by the dogs that they had to be destroyed. To show the worrying tho sheep received, it may be stated that out of the flock of one hundred but four remained in the paddock, the balance being dispersed in all directions, Mr Casey subsequently recovered the biggest portion of tho flock, although over thirty have stilJ to be found. After the worrying Mr Casoy discovered four dogs in the vicinity, one of which lie caused to bo shot, and the remainder made off. These dogs were the property of residents of Hamilton East, and were subsequently destroyed. Tho havoc and destruction wrought amongst the sheep should demonstrate the folly of keeping dogs for ornamental and fancy reasons in a neighbourhood where flocks of sheep are at all limes grazing.
