DIPPING CATTLE.
OLD DISPUTE SETTLED. ONE TICK FOUND ON FARM. The "battle" between officers of the New South Wales Tick Control Board and farmers in tho Mullumbimby district last March had a sequel lately, when, after officers of the board had found a solitary tick on the property of Mr. Samuel Wiley, -Mr. Wiley pleaded guilty to a charge of obstructing officers of the board. Last March, Mrs. Wiley ordered an officer of the board to leave the property. Later, when a number of the employees of the board attempted to dip Mr. Wiley's stock, they found 62 farmers assembled to prevent them from doing so. 'lhe officers seized a horse, but the cattle were finally driven into the scrub. An attempt was. made to blow up the dip at Goonengerry. Recently, however, after Mr. Wiley had pleaded guilty in the Police Court to the charge of obstruction, his counsel said that his client was now willing to comply with the conditions of the law and have his cattle treated.
