THE BLENHEIM FLOCKOWNERS AND THE SHEEP ACT.
Blestheim, August 14.
A largely attended meeting of sheepowners from the Northern Amuri, Clarence, and Wairau districts was held this afternoon, to consider the desirability of applying to the Government to amend the Sheep Act, 1878, and extend the period of cleaning runs. The following resolution was carried :—That this meeting requests the Government to take the necessary steps to cause the Governor to suspend the operations of sections 23 and 25 to 29 of the Sheep Act in Marlborough and Amuri for as long a time as the Act allows ; that the interpretation of the word " run " in section 5 should be altered to mean any sheep station, farm, or part thereof being substantially fenced ; and in clause 23, to take away the arbitrary power of the Inspector, and enable a Magistrate to inflict a penalty on owners, the minimum being LlO, and the maximum LSOO.
