LETTING A HOUSE
BONUS OR RENT
(Fer Press Association.)
Wellington, April 29
The first prosecution under the Act, making it an offence to demand a bonus for letting a house, was heard here, but fell through, as the defendant said he had not asked for a £5 bonus but for £5 rent to be paid in advance. The magistrate said there was room for a mistake and dismissed the case, but had a conviction been obtained he would have inflicted a fine of £SO.
