The Prime Minister has been asked by Mr Jennings whether he will take action in connection with a remark by Judge Hosking in the Supreme Court, Wellington, on Saturday last, as follows:—"It is a pity that there is not some legislation about these agreements that land agents concoct, and in which they put clauses that are traps to the unwary."
Mr W. H.
