HEAVY FINES
FOE FALSE INCOME TAX RETURNS..
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) DUNEDIN, This Day. In the Police Court, David Lawrence Christy and William Christy, flour millers, of Lawrence, pleaded guilty, the one to making false income tax returns, the other to aiding and abetting. The Crown Prosecutor stated that for four years defendants' returns showed approximately £200, the total for the four years being £884. As the result of an investigation an assessment was made at £4643. The returns always were made out by the second defendant (the son), but the father could not have been ignorant. For defence it was stated that the father already had paid £524 in tax deficiency to the Department. Fines inflicted on the four charges totalled £160.
