New Plymouth Harbour Board.
A DISTRESS WARRANT. [Per Press Association.] NEW PLYMOUTH, Oct. 29. The goods and chattels of Mr J. Elliott, J.P., Waitara, were sold under a distress warrant, issued by the New Plymouth Harbour Board, for rates amounting to J62 ss. There was a large attendance at the sale, but the goods were sacrificed. A buggy, almost new, fetched 17s, a piano 20s, and valuable pictures 7s 6d. The amount on the warrant was not satisfied till nearly half the furniture was sold. Mr Elliott informed the bailiff before the sale that the judgment was illegally obtained, and that he would proceed against the Board for damagea. It is thought there is some flaw in the proceedings.
