Because an Auckland bailin' had said, when delivering a summons, that all the document meant was that a debtor was to appear at the Magistrate’s Court, Paeroa, on a certain date, the magistrate, Mr. F. H. Levien, relaxed the rules of the court and permitted the debtor to state his defence when he appeared on Wednesday. While persons in receipt of court documents should read them, the magistrate remarked, it was quite wrong for court officials to comment on the contents, and for this reason and for the fact that the debtor had come from Auckland, his defence would be heard.
