POSSESSION CASE ADJOURNED
♦ DEFENDANT’S CLAIMS TO STATE HOUSE (P.A.) DUNEDIN, Aug. TT. Comment on the fact that the defendant in a claim for possession of a tenement in which he was living had not been able to get a State house through the Rehabilitation Department because he already* had somewhere to live, was made by Mr J. D. Willis, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. The Magistrate suggested that the department might entertain the application of the defendant for a house, as it was remarkable that a returned soldier should be debarred from getting a State house in such circumstances. The case was one in which Albert Anthony West sought to recover from Arthur Davie possession of a tenement. The Magistrate granted an adjournment for one month. The Court’s views could, he said, be conveyed to the Rehabilitation Department in the meantime. pital were attended to by the board’s staff. Mr Green’s suggestion that the report should be referred back to the hospital committee for further consideration was lost.
