HORSES ILL-TREATED.
TWO WORKMEN FINED. MAGISTRATE'S STRONG COMMENT [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH. Sunday. In fining two employees of a contractor yesterday for cruelty to their horses, the magistrate, Mr. C. R. Orr-Walker, said: "I think the employer should be more heavily punished than his employees. It is peculiar that the charges were laid against the men. I wonder what a man would'do if he had a sore hand. He would probably stay away from ws>rk, demand his wages and take good care of himself, but when it is a poor dumb animal which is injured, it is driven and forced to work in this dastardly manner."
