12. ↑ HORSE FALLS DOWN. A 76-year-old Thornaby firewood merchant, Joseph Winn, of 2, Stainton-street, was fined £5 and costs for permitting a horse to be worked in an unfit state, and William Teasdale (25), of 7, Erimus-terrace, was fined 20s for working the horse in an unfit state.
    It was alleged that the horse fell down in Frances-street, Thornaby, and that it was so weak and in such a poor condition that it was unable to regain its feet.
    Evidence regarding the animal’s poor condition was given by Inspector Kendra and Sergeant Hezeltine. Defendants, who were represented by Mr. R. Nixon, denied the charges, and said that when the horse was taken out that morning it was quite fit. The suggestion was advanced by the defence that in falling the horse had injured itself. Mr. T. Jackson, of Stockton, prosecuted on behalf of the Society.
