| The Legislative Committee of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce has reported in favour of representations being made to the Minister of Justice for the deletion of tfie clauses requiring that an affidavit be made before a distress warrant is issued, to the effect that a defendant is not Assisted as a discharged soldier, or a guarantor of a soldier within the meaning of the War Regulations, and that discretionary power be given to magistrates to refuse an issue of a distress warrant where the defendant, if an assisted discharged soldier, proved such extenuating circumstances as would justify such a refusal.
