Smith on behalf of Minnie Muir, a superannuated teacher of New Plymouth, seeking relief. She sets out that after thirteen years’ service as a teacher under the Auckland Education Board, she suffered a. serious health breakdown in 1905 and resigned, on the advice of the board's secretary, on the understanding that she should apply for re-employment on recovery. She resumed teaching in 1910 after ft prolonged illness, and during that period of enforced absence the teachers’ superannuation scheme inie into operation and made no provision to meet the case of teachers temporarily unemployed at that time. As a result the petitioner, who is now retired, states she is deprived of ft considerable sum annually. She asks for such relief as the House thinks fit.
