MAGNETISM OF HORSES.
AUCKLAND, March 16. “ Horses act like a magnet to him. ite was looking after some and merely went on the course to see them,” said Mr W. P. Fennell, who appeared for an ex-jockey, B. P. Ayres, charged at the Police Court to-day with trespassing on the trotting track at Epsom during a recent race meeting. Counsel said that Ayres was not a man who was likely to be a nuisance to members of the public, and he suggested that a nominal penalty should be inrposed. “He has two previous convictions, one for fighting and another for gaming,” said Chief Detective Hammond. “ Otherwise, there is no harm in him, and a small penalty will meet the case.” “The previous convictions are nothing at all,’’ said Mr Fennell. “ The one for gaming was merely a fine of £1 for playing a gam© of put and take with a Hawera police sergeant.”—(Laughter.) Ayers was fined £1 and costs (10s).
