SHEEP-WORRYING CASE.
DAMAGES TO BOTH PARTIES.
[BY .-KLEGRAPH.—-OWN" CORRESPONDENT.] Hamilton*, Tuesday. Judgment was given, yesterday by Mr. E. Rawson, S.M., in the case in ■which'J. M. McCarthy sued Primrose McConnell, manager d" the Ruakura farm, to recover £45 for the loss of a dog, which was destroyed ■ on defendant's instructions, and .on the counter-claim for £50 for the loss of a pure- )': bred sheep, alleged to have been -worried by McCarthy's dog. His Worship con- % sidered that as the shooting of the dog, which had been followed to Hamilton, taken back to the farm, and kept two days, was not the same transaction as the worring of the sheep, it. was not justified. , He awarded McCarthy £10 and costs (15s). In the second case he reviewed the evidence as to the worrying, the conflicting evidence regarding the value of the sheep killed, and the want of precision, in the evidence as to the amount of the balance .of the claim. He assessed the whole ; amount of the damage at £26, and gave -'• judgment for. that amount, with nosts.
