“Is that what you call purchasing land,” 'asked the Hon. Mr. Justice Maogregor :in the Supreme Court at New Plymouth, when counsel in an application for discharge in bankruptcy stated that the .bankrupt had purchased a. large block of 50,000 acres of land for £II,OOO. No cash passed, and the whole of the purchase money was allowed by the vendor to remain on mortgage at a very low rate of interest. It was subsequently stated that the land in question was valued by the Government Valuations Department at £22,000. That valuation had since been reduced to £14.000. and the land could now be bought for £7OOO. It was therefore suggested that the bankrupt had been led into this rash speculation bvthe inch Government assessment. — “Herald.” The Dominion executive of the New Zealand Alliance met at.
