The appellant said he was on furlough and intended to return with his family to China K as soon as possible. He had undertaken ocner wo'nc so that the mission would not have to bear the expense of his keep while in the Dominion. Appearing in support of the'appeal, Mr Uoklstiue said that Taylor was a qualified solicitor and had been employed by an Auckland firm until leaving for China, where he served as a missionary from 1925 to 1040.

It Had been found necessary to direct students, teachers, and men from every other walk of life. The appeal was dismissed with the condition that the appellant be provided with light work.
