FALSE STATEMENTS.
MISLEADING PENSIONS DEPARTMENT. EX-SOLDIER FINED. (Pee United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, January 23, Janies Murray, an ex-soldier, married, with six children, was fined £25 for making a false statement to the Pensions Department. Hie case is a pitiful one. He is tubercular, and bis eldest child is similarly affected. Two other children had scarlet fever, and his wife underwent an operation. His pensions altogether amounted to £6 15s a week, but he represented this as his sole income, whereas he had been working for a period on commission as an insurance agent, and the department maintained that it had overpaid him £362.-
