WANDERING STOCK
POSITION Ok THE POLICE EXPLAINED A letter dealing with the position of the police in regard to wandering stock, written by Superintendent 0- JCummings, was read at a meeting of the Waimairi County Council (reports “The Press”). The letter stated that it was an offence under the Police Offences Act for any person to permit cattle to he at large on any public place. The police took action against the owners of cattle found wandering. It was impossible for the police to take over the whole duty of suppressing the nuisance, but they were always ready to co-operate with the council, and would give tlie matter all the attention possible. Instructions had been given for-the police to give attention to the matters complained of, a 9 far as their multifarious duties would permit. The danger of wandering stock on the roads was fully appreciated, particularly at night, when animals were occasionally found lying on the road. The council decided to thank the superintendent for his assistance.
