POSSESSION OF ARMS.
REFUSALS BY POLICE. RIGHT OF APPEAL GIVEN. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. By an alteration which was made in the Arms Amendment Bill in the House last night, the right of appeal was given to those who may be refused import licenses or registration certificates. The amendment was introduced by the Minister in charge of the bill, Mr. Cobbe, and after the amendment was passed the bill was read a third time and passed. The amendment provides that any person who has had an application for an import license refused, or whose import license has been revoked, or whose certificate for registration has either been refused or revoked, may appeal to a stipendiary magistrate, who may confirm or reverse the decision of the police officer. Notwithstanding the decision of a magistrate, a license or certificate may be revoked if sufficient grounds or evidence are discovered after the hearing of the appeal.
