6o8 - Notice as to Glanders or Farcy. [Jan., 



that a person has repaired a fence when called upon to do so ; 

 but it depends on the strength of such evidence and the cir- 

 cumstances under which the repairs were made whether it 

 will be sufficient to establish a liability to repair. The fence 

 may have been erected by the owner on his own land to prevent 

 cattle from straying upon the property of a neighbour, and the 

 mere fact that it had been repaired by the owner is not sufficient 

 to establish a liability on his part to keep it in repair, for the 

 habitual repair of a fence is perfectly consistent with the 

 contention that the repairer has kept his fence in order for his 

 own purposes, and is no evidence of any obligation to repair 

 it for the benefit of a neighbour. 



To prove a right by prescription very similar evidence is 

 required, showing the uninterrupted enjoyment of the alleged 

 right to enforce repair for a period of forty or in some cases 

 twenty years.

 calling the attention of persons licensed to slaughter horses 

 to the obligation imposed upon them by 

 Notice to Horse- the Glanders or Farcy Order of 1907, 

 Slaughterers as to to report at once to the police in the

 the danger of the contraction of the disease by human beings 

 through contact with an infected carcase. 



For this purpose the Board have prepared the following 

 Notice which is being distributed to persons occupying slaughter- 

 houses or knackers' yards.
