MENTIONED IN I’OLdCE COURT. CONVICTION OF CHINAMAN AUCKLAND, Last Night. “Do you not think the penalty is a little out of reason?” asked Mr Dickson of the magistrate, Mr P. K. Hunt, in the Police Court to-day when Fong Ping, a Chinese laundryman aged 34, was lined £2O on a charge of overstaying a temporary permit to remain in New Zealand. The magistrate: Nc, I do not think it unreasonable. Counsel; His only reason for not leaving was because he had no money. The magistrate: They always pay their fines. Counsel: Their countrymen pay for them. However, it is one way cf getting revenue for the Government, but I should not think the Government would want it now it is likely to have a £70,000,000 loan. The magistrate: I cannot speak on that. *
