PENSION WRONGLY DRAWN.
MISLEADING STATEMENTS. COURT ORDERS A REFUND. £ lIV TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION. J WELLINGTON, Friday. A chargo that, by means of falso and misleading statements, ho obtained instalments of war pension totalling £177 13s 4d was preferred against Louis McDonald, a carpenter, in tho Magistrate's Court today. Mr. O'Regan said defendant's wife bocamo entitled to a war pension in rospect of her son and defendant was appointed her agent. After the wife died tho husband still collected tho pension, evidently under the impression that what was his wife's was his own. That defendant had acted quite bona fide in tho matter was proved by tho fact that ho had rocontly applied for an old ago pension and stated on tho form that he was drawing a war pension. Defendant was convicted and ordered to refund within sevon days tho amount wrongly withdrawn.
