REVOLTING CASE OF CRUELTY TO A COW.
[Br TELEGRAPH,PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WEllington, Wednesday. One of the most revolting cases that ! ave come under the notice of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of late is that of a cow belonging to a man named Anderson, of Island Bay. The animal was, it is clear, treated by somebody to a shower of some caustic fluid. The owner's attention was drawn to its condition by its mad behaviour, and on inspection he found the whole of one side of the poor brute a horrifying mixture of blood and hair. Now that the wound is partly healed the cow's side from the shoulder to the root of the tail is as bare as a board and quite black, while the skin is breaking. A young man was charged at the -Magistrate's Court, to-day with being responsible for the injury. After having heard the evidence the justices expressed a desire to visit the locality. The Court will give its decision to-morrow.
