THE STORY OF MRS. RYAN AND HER COWS.

Mrs Ryan, who has so oftln appeared ia the Police Court for allowing her cows to wander, has called at our office to represent the hardness of her case. Sfift says her hus-, band left for the West Coast seven years ago, and corresponded with her regularly for two years, after which time she heard no more of him, and does not know now whether he is dead or alive. She was thus left with a large family to support by heir own industry. She had a shop in Barrack-street, seven cows, and "as comfortable a home as there ever was in Auckland." But in a house near lived a for mer City Commissioner, who was anxious to get her out of th,eneighbourhood, "although God knows," says tshe, " I have never done him any harm," and to his influence she attributes the persecu tion that has followed. She says that her cows have been watched, and while other people's animals have been allowed to wander about the streets at pleasure, her's were seized and. impounded, and herself summoned to Court, even when her children were%riving them] to the Domain paddock. In four years she hast paid over £100 in fines and costs arising, out of ■ these actions. Her seven cows have dwindled down to two, i her businebs is gone, her children "who were kept as neat and clean as any

[ "My own clothing." she said, "isso far gone that I have had to borrow my sister's ?hawl whenever. I want to go otit; This is it I havo ~fri." To cori^ileite fter riiin.ghe waS again summoned last wf ek, afca finod by th.6. Mayor £2 with costs, making £2 Ga, beaidea poundage fees, which.she will have to pay, and sees no way of doing so except by sell ing one of her two cows unless some friends come forward and assist her. In this case, she says, like many other instances where she has been ,fine4j she was tfot to' blame. After milking the cows at five ifr the ttiorning she toot them up to the Domain-padcloek^ id the lessee of which she pays 5s per •vteek foT p'astiirage. She then went out to eani a fe,w shillihgd bf ti^k, arid on returning in the evening was told that her cows -fritfe ip tfee pound. She would not believe it, being confident of having placed them securely herselL But she soon found that the unwel come intelligence was too true, and she can oilly • stfrmise that,,, with,.so many persons going in and out of t£? Domain, pasturage the gate had been left open, and her cpvvs had wandered towards, their home, when they were seen on the open space near Symonds-street, and sont to the pound. It is of no interest to her, she* sayß, to let them wander, as they are- better on the pasturage, and she adds that if they were ever found on the streets she would not complain of the penalty; biit this Is, iridt usually ,tha case'; the. cow§ having, almosi; invariably ,befen seized on unenclosed sections of loud; such as Barrack hill, or the un occupied ground where they were last found. The poor woman seemed to be in great distress and cried a good deal while telling her troubles. She said if the public only knew the story of her life during the past four years, and the constant watching and persecution she ha^ been; subjected to, she waa sure . they would ndt withheld their sympathy. We have given • Mrs Eyah's story as nearly as possible as^he told it, and leave the public W judge- It must strike every reader at once that the same -pertinacity which; lha/ followed Mrs Ryan has not been, directed1 against other cow-keepers in the city. T^e could point to instances where cows, and horses are allowed to wander at large night after higKt.ih public, streets and Unenclosed places without.■ their 'owners appearing as, often at the. Police Court as 'Mrs'Ryan. \ We would not for one moment excuse the wilful * turning loose of cattle in our streets, but^iii cases where the straying has proved : acci dental some- leniency should be shewn, more especially, where a struggling widow is concerned, who might have thrown herself and family upon the list of. destitute, and become a burden Upon the'province. The question now to be ansWered fy.Mtsßvftn is, shall she sell her cows to satisfy tbisl last judgment, and become a pauper or not?;
