THE ROSS PETITION
The Public Petitions Committee reported on Thursday on the petition of John Boss, of Otautu, Patea, and his wife, who prayed that they might be granted relief on account of certain alleged wrongs done them by Mr George Hutchison, M.H.K. During the hearing of the petition, says the report, it was stated that great cruelty had been shown to the petitioners’ family by persons acting on Mr Hutchison’s behalf, but the evidence showed that that gentleman used every endeavour to minimise the effects of the proceedings necessary to recover possession of his own property. The evidence failed completely to establish that the estate had been mismanaged by Mr Hutchison, or that the petitioners had been defrauded of their just rights, or that no accounts had been rendered to them. The committee accordingly hj ad no recommendation to make. —Hawera Star, ______
