Police Court
COWRA, Tuesday. Before the P.M.
Henry George Laundess (on remand) '97
Illegally using a horse. Mr. Phillips for the
prosecution. Mr. Mason for the defence.
From the evidence it appeared that accused
was seen by Septimus Cramp riding a black mare
of his branded A over C along Kendall-street,
Cowra, on the 23rd ult., and that when accosted
accused stated he had bought the animal out of
the public pound at Grenfell, and produced a
receipt purporting to have been signed by Syd-
ney Marks. Cramp did not look on the back of
the receipt then, but he now noticed a second,
receipt there, showing that the mare had been
sold by the poundkeeper at Grenfell to Sydney
G. Marks, on October 27th, 1898. He lost the
mare from Cowra in July last.
A. Cramp deposed the mare bore his registered
brand and that he had not received any notice
of the impounding from the poundkeeper.
Joseph Marks, poundkeeper and inspector of
nuisances at Grenfell, deposed that the mare in
question was impounded from Ipswich Farm, by
Mr. Arthur Newman on October 23rd, and as
she appeared to be a "Cleanskin," he sold her
on October 27th, at auction, to his son, Sydney
G. Marks, for 10s, and the latter shortly after
wards sold her to the accused for 25s. The
order authorising tho sale was signed by Mr. J.
D. Brierly, J.P. Witness admitted that the
receipt purporting to have been signed by his
son was written and signed by his daughter.
His worship held there was no evidence
against the accused, who was then discharged
from custody.
Joseph Marks. '97 Larceny as a bailee of a
horse.
Mr. Mason for the defence.
This case arose out of the preceding one,
hence since of the evidence was similar. The
additional testimony adduced went to show that
the shoulders of the mare had never been clipped
as sworn by Marks in the former case ; that the
sale had been made to Laundess by accused, and
not by his son ; that the pound books had been
altered ; that accused had entered a charge for
damages (4s) which was not, authorised by the
impounder, and, it was alleged, had committed
various other irregularities. The witnesses
were senior-sergeant Kenny, Septimus Cramp,
Henry George Laundess, Sydney G. Marks,
Alfred Cramp, G. T. S. Boilnau (C.P.S. Gren-
fell, and sergeant Roberts (Grenfell).
Accused, who reserved his defence, was com-
mitted to take his trial at the Court of Quarter
Sessions, to be holden at Young on January 12th
next. Bail allowed ; accused in £40 and one
surety in £40.
Laundess entered into a bond to produce the
mare at the trial. '97 Cowra Free Press.
