OPOSSUM POISONING
HANGER FINED £lO.
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
INVERCARGILL, June 20.
A case of interest to trappers was heard in the Magistrate’s Court at Lumsden, when Leslie Alexander Murrell, of Manapouri, a ranger under the Animals Protection and Game Act, and holder of a trapper’s license, was convicted on a charge of taking opossums by poisoning. In imposing a fine of £lO, and ordering the payment of costs totalling £l2/5/-, the Magistrate (Mr. W. H. Freeman) said it had been made abundantly clear to him that a line of 13G skins which were the subject of the charge, had come from poisoned opossums and that the defendant had abused his position as a ranger.
