CARL POHLNER v. PATRICK MEANEY

Claim £9 10s., for trespass and damage to fence. There was a set-off for £2 10s. damages for trespass by plaintiff's sheep. Mr. P. McM. Glynn for plaintiff; Mr. Foster for defendant.

Carl Pohlner, of near Angaston, farmer, gave evidence that his wire-netting fence and grass on sections 346, 345, and 354 had been damaged by Meaney's cattle and

poultry.

The plaintiff's wife and son and William Dubberal also gave evidence as to trespass and damage by Meaney's geese, horses,

and cattle.

Patrick Meaney, of near Linwood, farmer, said his cattle had not damaged Pohlner's fence. The wire netting was not securely fixed at the bottom, only stones and sticks being placed on it, and it had blown up

with the storm.

Michael and Daniel Meaney, sons of defendant, gave evidence of trespass of Pohlner's sheep on their father's land, and denied that thier father's stock and poultry had trespassed or did damage.

J. W. White and William Wilson, farmer, of Linwood, gave evidence that there was

little or no feed on sections 354 and 346 when they saw the sections a short time ago.

Verdict for plaintiff for the amonnt paid into court, 13s., without costs.
