The Itinerant Poacher.
44 It is well known that graziers and farmers in country districts are continually having trouble of this kind,” said Sergeant J. W. Claasen. of Port Ahuriri, when two young men appeared in the Napier Police Court on charges of stealing two turkeys. The evidence showed that the accused had shot at the birds, killing them and taking them away with them in their car. Sergeant Claasen said that one Te Pohue property owner this season had had a whole flock of twenty turkeys shot in this manner. He considered that it would be advisable, if the Court thought fit, to issue a warning that this class of offence was definitely theft.
