CRUELTY TO HORSES
MAGISTRATE'S STRICTURES.
EMPLOYER SHOULD BE PUNISHED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday.
In fining two employees of a contractor for cruelly to horses, the magistrate, Mr. Orr-Walkor, said: "I think that the employer should be more heavily punished than his employees. It is peculiar that the charges were laid against the men. J wonder what a man would do if he had a sore hand. He would probably stay away from work, demand his wages and lake good care of himself, but when it is a poor dumb animal which is injured, it is driven and forced to work in a dastardly manner."
