From Western Post, 16 March 1861: Friday, March 15 Before Messrs CADELL and LYONS E BAYLY was summoned under the Impounding Act for overcharge of pound fees upon cattle which had trespassed his garden. Wm. SIMPSON deposed that the cattle in question had been drivedn down towater, and had found their way into what he called Mr BAYLY's cattle trap, or what Mr BAYLY might call his garden. He was in the habit of leaving the cattle on the banks of the river. If Mr BAYLY had a proper fence they would not annoy him. When he released the cattle he paid the fees, &c., £2 2s under protest. Constable CAMPBELL had examined the fence and considered it very insecure. J WALSH, poundkeeper, proved the impounding of the cattle; 4s per head was the highest charge that could be paid on cultivated lands. Mr BAYLY said he had for a long period been annoyed with SIMPSON's cattle; he had spoken to him on the subject, and £20 would not cover him for the damage they had done to his garden. If the fence was insecure, it was through SIMPSON's half-starved cows continually breaking it down. The Bench, taking the state of the fence into consideration, made an order for 1s per head. John CORN was again brought up for being of unsound mind. Constable CAMPBELL said since prisoner's discharge, several parties had complained to him about his being at large. He was not violent when he took him into custody. He had made a noise about 2 o'clock in the morning, and endeavoured to obtain admittance into a house, on being refused he forced his way through the window. Dr KING considered it would be better to send the man somewhere where he would be taken of. By proper attention he might ultimately recover. Remanded for a week. Hugh DOUGHERTY was charged by constable KELLY with being drunk and using obscene language in the public streets. Fined 20s. ***END*** Annette Piper Please note: Every effort has been to transcribe the above information correctly, however errors may have inadvertently been made.
