CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
[BY . TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] •" Napier, Tuesday. At the Magistrate's Court, Hastings, to'day, a case of a technical character was heard against a sheep-farmer, who was charged with allowing 60 head of cattle to be without food or water. Evidence was given ..to the effect that a consignment of 60 calves came down from Pahiatua, but as it was dark and tho station yards were full of rolling stock, it was considered advisable ' not to unload the trucks that night, as it would be attended with danger to the stock. They were therefore left until lialf-past seven next morning. The Magistrate held that there had been technical cruelty, but it had been involuntary on the defendant's part, and he dismissed the case.
