SHEEP WORRYING.
ACTION FOR DAMAGES FAILS. {Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 3. Reserved judgment was given to-day by the magistrate. Mr E. Page, in a case . in which Arthur Wilson, farmer, of Johngonville, claimed £176 damages from Robert Hogg, Samuel Hogg, and Lionel Bramlev, in respect of alleged sheep worrying by dogs. The question he said, was: Were the dogs adequately identified’ The professed identification was based mainly on three items—a view of the terrier obtained on the third night of the worrying by plaintiff and a companion; a view of a sheep dog obtained by a neighbour; and the sound of barks claimed to be identical with the barks heard previously. He had come to the conclusion that on the evidence the plaintiff had not discharged the onus on him. Judgment was given for defendants, with costs according to scale.
