PENSION WRONGLY DRAWN
COURT’ORDERS A REFUND. By ToSegraph.—Press Assoclatioa. Wellington, Oct. 12. Louis McDonald, a carpenter, was to-day charged that by means of false and misleading statements he obtained instalments of a war pension totalling £177 13s 4d. Mr. O’Regan, for defendant, said defendant’s wife became entitled to a war pension in respect of her son and defendant was appointed her agent. After his wife died th© 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 ho had recently applied for the old age pension and stated on the form that he was drawing a war pension. Defendant was convicted and ordered to refund within seven daye the amount wrongly withdrawn.
