Alleged Sheep Stealing.
THE CASE AGAINST JAMES INGLEY. Last Friday at the Masterton R. M Court James Ingley was brought up on remand from the 29th ultimo, charged with being the bailee of certain sheep that he did on or about the 13th day of July . 1885, fraudu. lently convert the same Vo his own use. Mr Bell appeared for the Crown, and Mr Barton and Mr Skipper for the defence. The bailee was lessee of a farm and bailment of some 2000 sheep and certain csttle from MrOakin in 1884. The charge in this case was one of the special tale of 500 sheep. The lease was for four year* from the 31st December, 1883. The condition of the lease was that the leaser should deliver up the same or a similar number of sheep at the expiry of the lease, and the wool, the product of the sheep, would be consigned te the lessor in payment of rent. After bearing the evidence the Resident Magistrate dismissed the charge. In the course of his remarks he said Ingley might be morally guilty of a breach of trust, but Efakin had by the terms of the lease as far t 5 **** sheep, at all events protected Ingley from any criminal prosecution for any breaches of the covenants and condi. turns cootainsd in tbe leas*.
