Mr. S. McDowall, Labour Department inspector, of Feilding, gave evidence that he had called on the defendant for the purpose of inspecting his books, but the defendant said that he did not keep a wages and time book and did not intend to do so, and,further said that if he had such a book he would not produce it. He further slated that he had' never collected taxes for the- Government and he did not intend to start. In regard to one of the defendant's employees whom witness, was inquiring about, the defendant told witness that he had better see this employee and collect the tax from her.
