A SECOND VENTURE.
IMMIGRANT FAMILY’S FAILURE. WELLINGTON. October 28. The committee of the Hospital Board two and a-half years ago paid half tne return fare to England for a family which had failed to make good here. When the committee offered to assist them they would not go unless all went. A week ago the same family turned up again, and applied for charitable aid. The husband at present is a patient in the hospital. A member of the committee said they had come in for a windfall at Home, and had used part of the money to return to New Zealand. How they got through the Immigration Department members could not understand. The committee felt itself in a dilemma, as the Government did not brine these people out. bat it decided to ask the Immigration Department to explain.
