HUNGRY CATTLE
TRIP FROM MORRINSVILLE FIRM AND DROVER CONVICTED (By Telegraph.— Tress Aasoclaticm) AUCKLAND, Tuesday Pleading guilty to charges of cruelty to animals, W. and R. Fletcher, Limited, was fined £lO on one charge and ordered to pay costs on another, and Kenneth MacKenzie Stevens, drover, was ordered to pay costs £1 4s on one charge and £1 Is solicitor’s fee on the other. Prosecuting for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Mr Aekins said Stevens left Morrinsville in May with 480 head of cattle and three calves and brought them to Westfield, being 21 days on the road. Thirty-eight lame cows were taken out at Tuakau, 21 at Rangiriri and nine at Ohinewai. Hay and water and larger-sized paddocks should have been arranged beforehand. After hearing evidence the magistrate said the company must have known the cattle would be more or less starved through no grazing.
