HORSE CRUELLY TREATED.
BEATEN WITH A GASPIPE. FINE IMPOSED ON CARTER. A charge of cruelly beating a horse with an iron gaspipe was admitted by David McKeown, a young man employed as a carter, in the Police Court yesterday, before Mr. J. W. Poynton, S.M., and Messrs. C. Norgrove and L. J. Pegler, J.P's. Senior-Sergeant Edwards stated defendant was driving a horse when it refused to move. He hit it with the reins and when it still refused, he struck it on the neck with an iron gas pipe. The horse was felled and did not regain its feet until it was released from the vehicle. No doubt defendant lost his temper but it was necessary to impress on him that horses must be protected. A fine of £2 and £1 Is costs was imposed.
