With several promises, including the finding of a position in the town, a Te Awamutu player had signed on to play for a League club in Auckland, but when he went to Auckland the job did not eventuate, and he came back to Te Awamutu, reported Mr H. T. Haselden, at Friday, evening’s meeting of the Waikato Rugby Union at Hamilton. He added that the nlayer now desired to, play Rugby, and - the Waipa Sub-Union asked whether he would have to apply for reinstatement. On looking through the rules it was found that the player was deemed to be a League player and would have to be reinstated. Several applications for reinstatement from League to Rugby were received from Hamilton, one from Waipa and one from Cambridge.—lt was decided that players applying for reinstatement be not allowed to play until their clearances had come to hand from Wellington. u

A question to be answered in Parliament next Wednesday is one by Mr W. P. Endean (Parnell), as follows: Whether the Attorney-General has had his attention drawn to the ease of lessees under compulsory building leases or other leases under which, in application for relief under the Mortgagors and Tenants Relief Act, magistrates have adopted.,the principle that the head lessor or the lessor shall suffer no reduction of rent in applications for relief; bring down legislation providing that magistrates shall observe the principle that lessors and head lessors shall be placed on the same footing as lessors and bead lessors in pooling agreements affecting farming properties? Mr Endean said there are two Supreme Court decisions affecting the case—(l) In re a lease, New Plymouth Harbour Board to H (S.C. 1935 s. 43); (2) In re C. to B. Company, Limited S.C. 1935 s. 85)— where it has been decided that lessors shall suffer no reduction in rent; and, further, there is no appeal from a decision of a, magistrate who does not follow Supreme Court decisions.
