The kitten-throwing incident, wlndf occurred on March 31 at the finals of the New Zealand University boxing championships, was again before the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to-night. Only a bare quorum, of ■ four members'was present, and the meeting carried by 3 votes to 1 a resolution that no further action be taken. . . , , In’ the discussion it was suggested that the perpetrator had had a good deal of punishment already from his fellow students; that the facts might not be held to justify a conviction; and that the society would have the expense of bringing the perpetrator from Auckland to no purpose. Moreover, the action. might appear vindictive after such a lapse of time.
