PERMIT OVERSTAYED
CHINAMAN BEFORE COURT. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, June 13. Wing Nang, alias Wing Lam, a Chinese aged 37, was charged in the Magistrate’s Court with remaining in the Dominion after expiry of his permit to do so. The Collector of Customs said Nang came to New Zealand in April, 1925, and had his permit extended several times on the ground of ill-health, but the last extension over ran the time limit. The Collector said the first available steamer would leave New Zealand on June 24, and Nang could .be placed aboard her. The Chinese Masonic Society was meanwhile prepared to enter into a bond of £lOO if he was given his freedom. The Magistrate made an order that accused come up for sentence on June 25, stating that if he failed to leave New Zealand he would be dealt with drastically.
