The Cruelty Case.

In the case of Captain Sweetsir, fined in the
Municipal Court Tuesday for cruelty to horse, it
will be remembered that Mr.. Sawyer found the
horse roaming on Capt. Sweetsir's place in Var
mouth and covered with frost Capt Sweetsr
claimed that he fed the ANIMAL but couldn't catch
him to house him. On the trial nine witnesses
were present to testify to Capt. Sweetsir's good
moral character, and in summing up Judge Gould
said there seemed to be a misrepresentation of the
law by Capt. Sweetsir he thinking as the owner
didn't come for the horse that it was the owners
fault, not his, if the horse suffered when, on the
contrary, it was Sweetsr's duty to look after the
animal. He therefore inflicted lighter fine than
he otherwise should.
