At the Magistrate’s Court, before Mr G. Cruickshank, S. M., yesterday morning, orders in favour of plaintiffs were given on the following judgment, summonses: A. S. Maitland (Mr T. Meredith) v. J. K. Campbell for £8 2/7, in default 14 days; J. G. Wade (Mr S. Ritchie) v. George Low for £l4 6/- in monthly instalments of 10/-; Herbert, Haynes and Co., Ltd. (Mr H. O. Haggitt) v. N.

Louis McDonald, a carpenter, was charged yesterday, that by means of false and misleading statements he obtained an instalment of a war pension totalling £177 13/-, states a Wellington message. Mr O’Regan for defendant said defendant’s wife became entitled to the war pension in respect to a son and defendant was appointed her agent. After the wife died the husband still collected the pension evidently under the impression that what was his wife’s was his own. That defendant had acted quite bona fide in the matter was proved by the fact that he had recently applied for the old age pension and stated on the form that he was drawing the war pension. Defendant was convicted and ordered to refund within seven days the amount wrongly withdrawn.

The Dargaville-Hobson Electric Power Board at a meeting on Thursday night, unanimously adopted the report of Mr T. R. Overton on the load survey of the board’s district and probable cost of installation and reticulation, states a Wellington message. The Government had stated its willingness to bring power from Arapuni to the board and it is understood that a survey of the route has already been made. The board has been waiting developments for some time, but now it seems certain that Hobson County and probably Otamatea adjoining, who are also having a load survey taken by Mr Overton, will have electric power and lighting within two years. The estimated cost of the scheme is £109,000. There are just on 1000 milking plants and two large butter factories in the board’s area, also sawmills, flax-mills and metal crushing plants.

What he described as a flagrant case, one of the worst in his experience, was how the Crown Solicitor referred to the charges brought against Anthony Harper, of having failed to furnish returns of income for the last three years, states a Wellington message. He claimed that facts disclosed a deliberate determination by defendant to evade his responsibilities. The story told by Mr Tudhope was to the effect that defendant originally a bootmaker, made a return in 1921, showing a small non-taxable income and no return till 1925 when in default, an assessment of £9OO was made by the Department. Defendant had made no further returns. Defendant’s return on this occasion was incorrect to the extent of about £l6OO but he was given the benefit of the doubt. On one occasion in 1926 defendant received £15,500 cash for two-thirds of a property at Cambridge Terrace and £338 a year rent for the remaining third, the transaction disclosing a profit of more than £BOOO which was taxable. The Magistrate, Mr Page, deferred the question of a penalty until defendant’s returns are available.

A sign of the times —advancing clocks half an hour as from to-morrow.

Binet, of the Solomon Islands Mission, gave an interesting address to a large audience on the people of the islands, their customs, and the work of the mission.

The Court of Appeal yesterday morning made an order striking Michael Bede Maher, solicitor, formerly practising at Hawera, off the rolls of the Supreme Court, states a Wellington Press Association message. It was alleged by Mr Meek, counsel for the Law Society, that Maher had failed to pay into his trust account certain moneys received by him on behalf of clients and further that he had wrongfully paid money out of his trust account and had failed to account for certain moneys received on behalf of clients. Maher did not appear and was not represented by counsel. Costs of £l5 15/were allowed the Law Society.
