SUED FOR RATES.

ONE-ARMED EX-SOLDIER.

" VICTIMISATION SOMEWHERE."

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

KAITAIA, this day.

"It is not very creditable to the council to bring this case before the Court," said Mr. L. A. Mcintosh. J.P., when H. W. Lamb, a returned soldier with one aim, was charged among others with having failed to pay his rates. The amount involved was £4 6/. Defendant said lie was prepared to pay, but the council had not given him a culvert to liis farm, although the money was voted for the purpose twelve months ago. Mr. Mcintosh remarked that there appealed to be victimisation somewhere. Defendant was married and had a family of six, and he was doing his best to work a farm in the Far Xortli.
