ILL-TREATMENT OF A HORSE
A Chinese gardener named Young How was to-day fined £3, with the alternative of one month's hard labour, for cruelly ill-treating a horse by working it with two sores. At 8.30 o'clock this morning Captain James Henry, inspector for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, while in Vivian-street, saw the defendant there in charge of an express. The horse had a large open wound near the fore leg which apparently had never been attended to. The horse was also lame on the hind legs, and was, according to the inspector, suffering greatly by being worked. Both How and the horse were arrested and taken to the Lambtonquay Police Station, where Mr. D. G. A. Cooper, S.M., agreed to see the animal. When he appeared before the Court How wanted a chance, but this was refused him. " I can't let you off for an offence like this," said his Worship.
