MAGISTERIAT

ASEBURTON- WEDNESDAY.

Alleged Sheep Stealing,— At the Magistrate's Court this morning, before Messrs D. Thomas, T. B. Upton, and A. Jackson, J 'eP., William Cobbledick was charged with, stealing nine hoggets, value £3 3s, the property of James Bell of Lismore, between October Ist and November 5j3. Prisoner had been arrested at Wellington, ami was now brought np on remand fr m December 31st Mr Cuthbertson appeared f or accused — R. F. Holderness, Chief In spector of Stock and Registar of Brands for Canterbury ; proved Mr Bell's brands and earmarks. There was a similar earmark at Ashburton, bat the brand was different.— James Bell, a farmer at Lismore, said his farm joined that of accused's mother. Had 295 woolly hoggets turned out next; to Cobbledick'B. 'look them there the first or second week m October. Had missed t welve since putting them there ; they were marked with his brand and earmarked (split m near ear and top quarter out of off ear) ; wethers and ewes were branded alike ; 100 wethers bought from Webster had a different ear- j mark. Valued the hoggets at 8s each. Missed his sheep on November 12th, and on 15th saw three m accused's paddooks. Went with the police to Cobbledick's on Inovember 25th, and saw Ernest and Frank and Mrs Oobbledick. Accused was not there. Found five of his own sheep there shorn. Knew them by the earmarks. They were branded With Cobbledick's brand, and had been fresh ear-marked. Took the five mieep to his own place. There was one he could swear to positively by a punch hole at the base of the ear. He had marked a few with this private mark. Had fetched two woolly hoggets from Cobbledicks on November 22 .None of the Oobbledioks were present ; also got a shorn one; it was branded KB. Ernest Oobblediok had told him to fetch the woolly ones. Saw fonr woolly hoggets of his own at the Police Station. Knew them by their brands and marks. Had not sold any hoggets before missing some of them. Had brod the sheep himself, including nine of the stolen ones. Had had no dealing with accused. Two other sheep found a' Cobble diok's witness had bought from Webster's. To Mr Cuthbertson —Did not know of his own knowledge who owned the K8 brand which Cobbledick used. Andrew Shenalski worked at Mr Bell's. Went to Cobbledicks with Bell to get the two woolly sheep, and subsequently with the polics. Got two woolly sheep and one shorn one the first time. The shorn one was fresh branded X

and the earmark altered. Afterwards saw five more hoggets there when he went with the police. They were shorn; had Bell's earmark, and were branded KB. Was sure they were Be'l's. Three of the four woolly sheep had Bell's brand on, and the other bad the earmark, but the brand was not distinct. There was a private brand on four — a tattoo anchor — James Bell, re-called, said he could identify the four ■heep got back from the police by a tattoo anchor on the brisket; the five got from Mrs Cobbledick were similarly branded.— Marian Cobbledick, wife of William Cobble dick, had a farm on Trevor's read adjoining Bell's. Acoused was her son; he bought

and sold for her under her instructions. I •Remembered his leaving her finally on ] November 6. Saw him m company with Messrs Edgar and Bonnington on November 7. Accused left because he had a disagree ment with witness. Had not instructed him to sell any sheep for her. Had about six or seven crossbred hoggets. They were token away on November 7. Was told they were gone, and then missed them. Did not find them. Saw accused the same day. Heard Bonnington say that if accused would give up the cheque to her there would be no more trouble about the sheep, meaning her sheep that accused had sold to Bonnington. Did not know how many sheep he bad sold .until she saw Bonnington; Understood the cheque was for the sheep sod- Did not) know many till Bonnington told her ; then knew there were a great many more sold than her own. Did not know who got the oheque ; had no benefit from it herself. All her crossbred hoggets were gone. Her brand was K.B with a bar underneath ; the earmark was two bits out of the lack of one ear and one out of the other. Had sold sheep to Bonnington some months before November 7th. Her merinos were thorn at that date. There had been no sheep shorn at her place since. None of her cross bred hoggets were shorn. Remembered the police coming to her place with Bell and claiming some sheep and taking them aw»y. They had her brand and were newly ear marked. Branded them herself, and her son Frank earmarked them on the Wednesday and (Thursday before accused left. They were shorn some time before. Acoused was ( not there for some days before. He had not told her anyone else's sheep were there. Did not know crossbred sheep from any other when the wool was off. Branded them all for merinos. Believed accused shore these sheep ; he did all the shearing,- Told Bell she would pay for the wool off any sheep that was his. — To Mr Cuthbertson — The police took away five sheep that she herself bad branded And earmarked. Pid not see them shorn. Put the new earmark on all the shorn sheep. Frank Cobbledick, brother of accused, said William Cobbledick shore his mother's sheep, He had charge of the stock. Did not know of his own knowledge whether any crossbred sheep were taken m to be •horn Did not see any of the sheep driven m. No one but accused could have shorn them* Saw soma woolly sheep m the paddock when bis mother and himself were branding the others. Was present when the police took away five sheep. T)id not know where they came from. To Mr Cuthbertson —Did not see accused shear the sheep. To. the Bench -Put the earmarks on the five ■heep himself. — Fred. Bonningtop, a stock dealer living at Tinwald, had twice bought sheep from accused and paid him. Bought sixty-five hoggets from him on November 4. They were delivered on November 7, Also bought < some crossbred ewes. Went at accused's request to buy the cheep. Saw Qbbbledick at Geraldine sale and arranged tobring Mr Edgar down to sep the hoggets, $IrJ2dgar'Baw l the sheep, and?* bought them frps" witness at fts per head. Had agreed to pay Cobbledick 7a per head for the hoggftts, Accused delivered the sheep to Mr Edgar at Rangitara. Cobbledick did not take the sheep the way witness wished which was past Bell's place. Gave accused bis own cheque for the sheep. Would not know the earmarks of them. Mrs Cobble > diok came up after the transaction was closed and asked witness if he had paid her son for the Bheep. Went, with her and overtook the son who had gone. Said to accused "Now then, your mpther wants the chequefor the sheep." Had shewn her the receipt) for tha sheep and ihe knew how riiariy tbfcre were. Cobble dick uaid, " Mother, if 'you will do what you promised for me. I will give you' the oheque." She replied she would do all she hud promised. He then said, '* Give it to nia m writing mother", and I will give 'you jihp cheque/ She refused to give if; }n writing, r and acoused said he would £eep j>he cheque. Witness then told them he thought there was a family squabble between ih,em, and tftey had better pettle ib between themselves, Offered tp stop his own cheque if Mrs CJobbledick wished but ahe said Bhe thought it was best left alone, His own oheque had been cashed. To Mr Cuthbert son. — Inspected the sheep m Mrs Cobble dicks paddock The sheep were all very similar. Mrs Cobblcdiok expressed no sur prise at the number of sheep shown on the receipt. > ■ ;• (Left setting. )

The Transvaal.

Lc,M>r>N, January 6 Latest particulars show that Jame son's force which consist d only of 460 men fought the Boers, who numbered 2700, for thirty-six hours, and only surrendered when the last cartridge had been expended. Jameson and his, men were expecting aid from a force of 2000 Uitlanders, which had arrived

within six miles of Johannesburg. The causal ties on Jameson's side con sisted of 130 killed and 37 wounded.

The leading newspapers m the metropolis and provinces, m discussing the Transvaal crisis, r cognise the men i acing concert of other Powers against Great Britain, and advise the Govern ment to increase the armaments. The Press generally agrees that it is time it was made clear that Eng land will not submit to be bullied either singly or unitedly. It is possible that the Imperial Parliament will be summoned at an earlier date than was first intended.

January 7. The Times correspondent telegraphs that President Kruger has stopped food supplies m Johannesburg, arrested the members of the Uitlanders' Com mittee, and prohibited entrance into the Transvaal without passports bear ing his own signature. The Times comments on the signifi cance of the reported formation of a German Colonising Company m the Transvaal.

Apparently the rival plots m the Transvaal were — firstly, that Kruger was aiming at the independence of the Transvaal and freedom to negotiate foreign treaties, and was relying on promises of assistance by Germany and Holland ; and secondly that a section of the Uitlanders, anxious for reforms, arranged the rising with the help of the ( British South Africa Chartered Company, but had no general desire for an armed revolution However, the Boers military precaution and specious promises prevented the Uitlander's force from coalescing with Dr Jame son. The opinion m Capetown con demns the latter for the precipitancy of events, and he is now regarded as a martyr to money-grubbing Uitlanders. Joubert proposed an armistice when Dr Jameson was approaching, which, it was reported, the residents accepted. Assistance sent down by the Uitlanders arrived shortly after the sut render.

Pketokia, January 7 The Germans are forming a colonis ing compiny to introduce 5000 mili tary settlers.

Hofmeyer telegraphed to President Kruger denouncing Dr Jameson's ex pedition, and expressing a hope that the Boers would be victorious.

When the news was received of Dr Jameson's expedition, President Kruger told the Uitlanders' Committee that a force of 4000 Boers had started to intercept tr c party.
