UNRULY STOCK
VACANT SECTIONS POPULAR. Vacant sections in and around the city appear to provide excellent accommodation for horses, cows, and calves, who find pi.ddock fences no obstacle to their natural freedom. “Every time a man finds a vacant section,” declared Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.. in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday afternoon, “ho puts a horso into it. I don’t know why he does not erect a substantial fence. . . .It seems that there is. no other place in the Dominion where people permit stock to wander to such an extent. The only way to put a ston to it is to fix n minimum fine of 405.” Mr T C. A. Hislop (who for the Hutt County Council) : That is so, sir. Then the practice will be an absolute loss.” Quite a number of offenders myle their appearance, and . fines ranging from £2 to 10s. were imposed.
