BECAUSE A. Persaud, a cattle dealer of Leonora, West Coast, Demerara, claimed a cow that was not branded as his property, a charge of larceny against Selwyn Fontonelle was dismissed.
Magistrate Liverpool dismissed the charge last Monday, during the trial of Fontonelle, after Persaud admitted under cross-examination by defence counsel J.M.F. Coddett that he never sought to get a brand for his animal.
Fontonelle was freed after Persaud failed to properly identify the cow as his property.
