When examining a judgment debtor at the suit of certain creditors recently a Taranaki solicitor took strong exception to one item that appeared in the judgment debtor's statement of expenditure, and remarked emphatically that if the debtor could not pay the ordinary tradespeople he was not justified in incurring expenditure in keeping his son at a boarding school. Some of the plaintiffs to whom the money was owing could not afford to send their sons to such a school, he added. The magistrate agreed that under the circumstances such expenditure was not justified.
