Over a Precipice.
[Pkb Pbess Association.] WELLINGTON, Nov. 5. Messrs Sinclair Bros., sheep farmers At Paremata, near Porirua, sustained a heavy loss in a very remarkable way on Saturday. They were mustering for shearing, when a mob of about three- hundred sheep, getting away from the dogs, rubbed headlong over a precipice, threo hundred f<_«.t high, fringing the beach. An effort whs made to save the skins, but the stench was so overpowering that the work had to be abandoned. Messrs Sinclair Broß. estimate their loss at about £200.
