ON PROHIBITED GROUND. (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) WAIHT, Tuesday. Because he was hunting, shooting, killing or pursuing game on a prohibited area at Waitewlieta on May 17, a young man Matthew Pitcher, was fined £2 and costs by Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M., in the Waihi Magistrate's Court this morning. The case was brought by the Auckland Acclimatisation Society for which Mr. H. L. Boughton appeared. Pitcher's defence was that he was unaware of the boundaries because of the lack of fences, though he admitted he had been warned off the property earlier in the day. The magistrate said that ignorance was no excuse, and the defendant should, have been doubly careful in the circumhe did not trespass again.
