SUPREME COURT.
(Per Press Association.)
TIMARU, May 7
The Supreme Court was occupied all day over a charge against an elderly couple named Tarrant, dairy farmers, of Temuka, of stealing several head of cattle between March and July of last year. The owner lost a number of cattle by straying, and failed to recover a few of them. In November he recognised three of them on the iajfni of another person, who had., bought then, from the accused. Both denied the charge, and gave evidence regarding the purchase of the three beasts. This evidence was not in eny way corroborated .while the claimant had several witnesses for identification. The female accused had signed an agreement to pay for these and other cattle to save trouble, but she declared that it was done against her better judgment, and she had not paid the money.
The jury disagreed. A second charge of the same nature against the Tarrants will be taken to-mor-row.
