Narrative
BIG LOSS BY FIRE.
On Wednesday night of last week a disastrous fire occurred at the residence of Mr. E. Sheppeard, butcher, situated about two miles from Tingha. About 7.30 that night Mr. Sheppeard as engaged making up his books in the front room when he suddenly discovered the ceiling was a mass of flames. He and Mrs. Sheppeard had only time to remove the children, finding it impossible to again enter the house to save any of their belongings. In a very short time the house and its contents, including a quantity of cash which was in the wardrobe draw er, were completely destroyed. The family had only the clothes they had on them, and were kindly housed for the night by a neighbour living a little distance away. The house, which was a weatherboard structure, of four rooms, was lined with hessian, and it is surmised that one of the children, after lighting a hurricane lamp to proceed to bed, dropped the match near the hessian lining, and this then caught alight. The greatest sympathy is felt for the family in their huge loss, which Mr. Sheppeard estimates at between £400 and £500. There was no insurance on house or furniture.

Dog Registrations
AN UNUSUAL CASE
Solicitor's Criticism
A rather unusual case was mentioned at the Tingha Police Court yesterday, when Edward Sheppeard, a local master butcher, was proceeded against for the non-registration of three dogs. Mr. V. P. Wiltshire appeared for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Constable Eastment applied for an adjournment in view of the fact that Sergeant Waters, who laid the information, was ill.
Mr. Wiltshire: I strongly object. Sheppeard is a local man, and on the telephone, yet this is the first intima-tion we have that the police are not ready to proceed. It is grossly unfair that my client should be put to the expense of bringing me out here on wild goose chase. The application for a postponement is unreasonable and I strongly object. I also understand that the Sergeant did not obtain the consent of the inspector to prosecute, which is a most unusual procedure.
The P.M.: It should be a simple matter to prove ownership and non registration.
Mr. Wiltshire further explained that an action for damages was pending between the Sergeant and Sheppeard. It appears the whole proceedings arose out of a dog fight between the Sergeant's dog and defendants. The Sergeant's dog subsequently died from its injuries and it was then that he took out three summonses against Sheppeard. It was paltry and should never have come before the Court.
The P.M.: When did Sergeant Waters take ill? A Constable: On July 26th. Mr. Wiltshire: He is walking about Tingha and could easily be here. Mr. Wiltshire, proceeding, said that one of the dogs was registered, and produced the registration. In the case of the second dog the animal was under age. There had not been a prosecution in either the Inverell or Tingha districts for non-registration of dogs for several years, which showed this was a paltry prosecution. If there was not another case pending no prosecution would have been launched. He would make an offer of pleading guilty to the non-registration of one dog if the police withdrew the charge in respect of the other two. The P.M. said he was of the opinion that the civil action should be taken before these proceedings, Mr Wiltshire: Exactly. The P.M.: They should be adjourned generally. Ultimately the cases were adjourned until October.
