THE HORSE STABBING CASES.
Very little further information has come to light- with, respect to the cases of horsestabbing which occurred on, Saturday night or early on Sunday morning, and the police are exceedingly reticent as to their movements. • On Monday information was received to the effect that footmarks, almost identical with those found in the, vicinity of the butchered animals, had been discovered on a plank footbridge over the stream ait Scarlett's brewery. The person who had mao"e tho marks had evidently come through a large paddock en the other side of the stream from the brewery, and in all probability had reached the paddock from the railway. As it is an unusual thing for the footbridge to be used except by anglers, the fact was noti-fied-to the police. Assuming these were the marks made by the horse fiend, his difficulties in reaching the paddock in which the stalfidn w.ts feeding would be considerably less than if he had entereddfc? from the lane leading off the Fendalton road.
