| IMPOUNDING ACT. - John Bayliss was charged with a breach of this Act, by R. A. Rodd, Esq. Before the case was gone into, Mr, Thompson, for the defendant, applied for the enforcement of an order made last week, that the complainant should pay £2 2s. professional costs on the postponement of the case. The bench declined making any order in the mater. Mr. Thompson maintained that the case must be dismissed, as the defendant, was charged with driving cattle off Mr. Collins' land without giving notice, and that therefore it should have been proved that such had been done, and it had not been proved by the complainant that notice had not been given. The bench decided to go on with the case, and Mr. Thompson gave notice that he should apply for a prohibition on that point. - For the defendant, William Raisbeck deposed : About the 26th or 27th January last I was out with Mr. Bayliss; it was a very wet day; we got some cattle ; I know the boundary between Rothbury and Collins' runs ; I was over it once with Mr. M'Lean, the overseer at Rothbury ; I recollect getting on that day some cattle bearing Mr. Rodd's brand or the Calfpen brand about a quarter of a mile from Collins' run towards Rothbury ; I did not go on Mr. Collins' land at all that day to get cattle ; where we got the cattle was in a little gully with oaks at both ends and scarcely any in the middle ; there were some of Mr. Lindsay's with them, also some of the poundkeeper's at New Freugh; we took the cattle straight to the pound ; this was as near as we could go; we could not have taken them quite straight to the pound without trespassing on Dochra run ; we picked up another lot of Mr. Rodd's cattle still further in on the Rothbury run, on a bit of clear ground; we did not get any other but Mr. Rodd's cattle that day ; I know a man named Luoy who was formerly a shepherd in Mr. Lindsay's employment ; he was there at that time ; I saw him that day as we were going home with the cattle ; he was nearly two miles, or about two miles, from where we took the first lot of cattle, and about one and three-quarter miles from where we took the second lot ; I only judge those distances from riding about there ; Lucy could not possibly have seen us from where he was driving those cattle ; it was about half an hour or there- abouts from the time of getting the cattle until I saw Lucy ; it was not possible for him to see three and a quarter miles from where he was so as to distinguish people ; when we came up to Lucy he was almost standing, and the sheep going quietly on ; we were very close to that place once before, chasing some horses, about half a mile off Lucy, and he could not have seen us. There is one ridge; he might have seen three quarters of a mile from the top of the ridge, but not further; Lucy was abont two miles inside the Rothberry boundary when we met him ; Lucy said he got some of Mr, Rodd's cattle there; Bayliss replied, "some of these ROD'S must be Mr. Rodd's, as nobody else brands that way; from where Lucy was he could not possibly see two and three quarter miles to distinguish any one ; I have been there since Mr. McLean has been there ; the road to Calfpen station is at the top of the gully, and runs alongside of a ridge; the road just there is within Lindsay's boundary line ; my brother went to take the cattle out of the Oaks, and I met him ; the Calfpen station I have been speaking about is Mr. Lindsay's, which is about three quarters of a mile or a half-mile from Mr. Collins' Calfpen station ; I was with Mr. Bayliss all that day ; he did not on that day take any cattle, except from Mr. Lindsay's run ; the Rothbury run is about twelve miles across; I have put sticks up on the boundary line against the trees after they had been pointed out to me by a person who did know the line, so that I might remember it. By the bench : I have seen sticks in there before, and I merely put a few extra, so that I might know the line. By complainant : The wild horses I was chasing were on Mr. Lindsay's Calfpen run ; it was about half-a-mile on the Rothbury run ; they ran towards the mountain ; we followed them for about half-a-mile, and then let them go ; we fell in with the cattle about a quarter of an hour afterwards ; I did not see Lucy when I was driving the horses ; Lucy could not see us then ; saw him afterwards from where he was when he was driving the cattle, about halfway between Rothbury and Calfpen station ; I did not see Collins' Calfpen station that day ; we were nearly half a-mile away from it ; from where we were going could not see the hut half-a-mile away ; I saw Lucy before he spoke to us ; I saw the sheep first ; he was close to the sheep, and we drove the cattle close ,by him ; I did not stop to speak to him, but Bayliss spoke to him a few words; the cattle were all together ; my brother went into the Oaks to collect another mob ; we did not find them all in one mob, but they were all mixed together in two mobs ; we went out that day to see if we could get anything ; I did not get a subpoena to attend here to-day ; I saw the constable give Mr. Bayliss a summons ; I think that was on Monday evening ; he attended the court on Tuesday ; I have lived in the same house with defendant between two and three years ; sometimes I go out with him, and he pays me by the day ; about twelve months ago I was shown the side line between Collins' run and the Roth- bury ; I went to Rothbury with the cattle, and put them into the yard, and drafted Mr. Lindsay's cattle out of them, and then took them to the pound ; I can swear that the cattle were not on Collins' run when Lucy spoke to Bayliss ; and if any one has sworn to the contrary, they have sworn false ; I believe that I might be liable, as an accessory, before and after the fact, supposing the cattle were driven off Mr. Collins' run ; I have never been assisting Bayliss to impound any of yours or Collins' cattle ; it is about 20 or 30 yards from Collins' calfpen to the boundary line ; we went with the cattle along the Calfpen Road to Rothbury; I did not see your cattle before on the Rothbury run.- Angus M'Lean, overseer for Mr. Lindsay at Rothbury, was next examined at con- siderable length, as also Henry Raisbeck, brother of the former witness, and James Poole. The bench dismissed the case ; complainant to pay 15s. for two witnesses.
