SHEEP-WORRYING CASE
DEPREDATIONS OF ALSATIAN ANIMAL’S LIFE SPARED. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 21. A Hutt Valley sheepfarmer, Walter Kilmister, who was the informant m a sheep-worrying case in the Lower Hutt Police Court to-day, stated that during the past year he had had about 150 sheep killed by dogs. Charges of being the owner of an Alsatian dog which was dangerous and not kept under proper control were preferred against W. Stanley Brice and Patrick Brice. Kilmister did not say that the defendant’s dog was responsible for all the sheep, observed his counsel, but he was apprehensive of the future if the dog were not destroyed. After hearing the evidence Mr J. S. Barton, S.M., said it was proved that the dog had worried the sheep. He was loath to order the destruction of the dog, however, and in view of the evidence ho thought it was reasonable if he allowed the animal to bo kept under proper control.
