RISK OF CYANIDE BAITS.
OPOSSUM HUNTERS FINED. At the Police Court at Molong, New South Wales, recently, George Alexandei and Walter Weeks were each fined £SO, in default six months' imprisonment, foi having laid cyanide poison baits, and £2 each for having an opossum skin in their possession. The magistrate said that with a view to the fine acting of a deteHtent, he had made the penalty the maximum. In his opinion the penalty provided for using cyanide was not sufficient. It was a most dangerous practice, and thousands of pounds worth of valuable stock had been destroyed.
