"PASSIVE RESISTANCE."
NO INCOME TAX RETURNS MADE.
FINES OF £150 INFLATED.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
Anthony Harper was to-day fined amounts totalling £150 on three charges of failure to furnish returns of his income. "A flagrant case and one of the worst of its class in his experience," was how the Assistant Crown Solicitor. Mr. J. Tudhope, referred to the charges. The case differed from the usual because the facts disclosed a deliberate determination by the defendant to evade his responsibilities. The Department had been able to obtain little information from the defendant himself. It was, he submitted, a flagrant case of passive resistance. In another case William H. P. Atkins was fined £25.
