CRUELTY TO BULL
Fire to Move Animal Dominion Special Service. Auckland, Dec. 10. An unusual case was heard before Messrs. G. T. Civil and A. AA’arin, J.P.’s, in the AVarkworth court yesterday, when a settler, H. T. Carlyon, of Cowan’s Bay, near AVarkworth, was charged with cruelty to a bull. Mr. C. C. Hollingsworth, acting for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, stated that he had examined the animal, which had a large sore from the shoulder to the hip on the near side, and another from the hip to tail on the off side. These sores were consistent with-burning. Defendant pleaded guilty, but urged that he had no intention of causing unnecessary pain. The animal was bogged in a mudflat where the" rising tide would have drowned it, and to make it struggle out he had lit a fire beside it. Defendant was fined £2/10/- and £1 costs. An application to have his name suppressed was refused.
