Certain residents of Brooklyn and Mornington have made complaints to the City Council regarding wandering cattle. In a recommendation to the City Council last night the outlying committee stated that the ranger was doing as much as he could at the present time in the matter of impounding wandering stock, as the Magistrate’s Court reports would show, but, unfortunately, the Stipendiary Magistrates were not inflicting heavy enough fines to stamp out the nuisance. The committee recommended that the city solicitor be instructed in all cases of wandering cattle prosecutions to press for heavy penalties in the court.
