NO MAINTENANCE ORDER
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Auckland, September 5.
A young man who appeared at the Police Court to answer a claim for maintenance of his mother, said his earnings were so meagre that he intended to marry in order to claim £27 due to him from the estate in the event of his taking such a course. The magistrate, Mr. W. R. McKean, said he could not make an order on the present earnings of the defendant, who was receiving only 10/- a week from farm labour.
