SHEEP WORRYING
STATION OWNER AWARDED DAMAGES (Per United Press Association.) Wairoa, May 6. In the Magistrate’s Court this afternoon J. S. Jessep, owner of the Waihi Station, Waikarenioana, was awarded £9O damages for sheep killed and worried by dogs owned by two Waikarenioana Natives, William Moses and Henry Tama. Sheep-farmers in that locality have suffered a great loss in recent years through Maori dogs worrying sheep. Plaintiff caught the dogs in the act, shot them, and after identification placed the carcases in an empty freezer, resulting in a very clear case. The Magistrate, Mr Levvey, strongly commented on the lying evidence of several Maoris for the defence.
