The following, from the Shooting Times, treats of cruelty to 
crops:- “Another pigeon-shooting case was heard at the St. 
Helens County Court by Judge Shand, last week, when Jas. 
Speakman, collier, of Dalesrow, Whiston, claimed £5 for the 
loss of a pigeon shot by Joseph Strettle, farmer, of Whiston. 
Plaintiff’s case was that he , was a pigeon fancier, and trained 
birds for flying in matches and sweeps. On the 16th of last 
month he was near defendant’s farm, and saw defendant in one 
of the fields with a gun. One of plaintiff’s birds flew over the 
field, and defendant shot at it. The pigeon died the following 
day from a wound in the crop. It was a red chequered cock, 
about twelve months old, and plaintiff would not have taken £10 
for it. On Easter Monday it won £4 in a sweepstake, and £6 
in a match on Whit-Saturday. Defendant denied that the bird 
was flying when it was shot. It was on the ground pulling up 
young turnips and eating the seeds. His Honor, in giving judg- 
ment for the defendant, with costs, said he was satisfied that 
the pigeon was on the ground and doing considerable amount of 
destructive work. The law, therefore, gave the farmer the right 
to shoot pigeons which were damaging crops.”
