An Onehunga tradesman is now in., a position to estimate the value of the law in helping him to collect longstanding accounts. Some time' ago he obtained judgment against a debtor for £13 and £3 costs. The, debtor was ordered -to pay th© total amount of £16 at on© shilling per week. Th© creditor congratulated himself upon getting the order, and remarked that; it would only take six years and eight weeks to liquidate th© account. Since then, however, he has discoverth© order of the Court holds good 1 only for on© year, so that to get all. his mon©y h© will have to\ apply for a renewal of the order each/" year, atii/aiv annual cost of £1 15s, made up of Court costs and travelling expenses for the debtor. If all goes wfH and t*h©j Court favors each application for , reiiewal, th© account should,be.liquidated in 1.6 years arid 48 weeks. As a|Lcosts will be added to th© original -debt of £13, the debtor under this process will pay .'£44, Under an amendment of th© Act, passed last session, the debtor may apply to the, Court at'-anv tim© to have the order varied; which, will" be'-'granted if rhe «an, satisfy th© Co,tirt that hie is ;no longer .able to pay As.per week. , '
