NAPIER’S HAUGHTY PAUPERS.
(PER press association.) N A.PIER, January 20. The Charitable Aid Board to-day decided to seek amendment of the Act in the direction of giving Boards greater power over inmates of refuges. At present Boards may make regulations, bu* - esnnot enforce them or get the inmates punished for insubordination, and the only resource is to turn out refractory inmates. The chairman stated that men came in drunk, kicked up rows, and fought, but the magistrate refused summonses when applied for. As an instance of the prevalence of insubordination, it was mentioned that when geese, turkeys, and poultry were sent to the Refuge tor Christmas, one able-bodied pauper poiutblank refused to assist, when asked, in picking a goose.
