CRUELTY TO HORSES
CONTRACTOR’S EMPLOYEES FINED. [Per Press ABRAciationJ Christchurch, May 26. In fining two employees of a contractor for cruelty to horses, the Magistrate, Mr. O. R. Orr-Walker, said: “I think that the employer should be more heavily punished than his employees. It is peculiar that the charges were laid against the men. I wonder what that man would do if he had a sore hand. He would probably stay away from work, demand his wages, and take good care of himself; but when it is a poor dumb animal which is injured it is driven and forced to work in a dastardly manner.”
