WRITS OF ATTACHMENT.
COUNCIL REFUSES TO STRIKE RATE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received August 3,2 LONDON, August 2. The Poplar Borough Council is appealing against the attachment writs. (A message received on Monday states: The Chief Justice has issued a writ of attachment against members of tty© Poplar Borough Council, for refusing to strike a rate to meet the London County Council’s levy of about £40,000. Several members of the council expressed their willingness to strike the rate, but the Labour majority outvoted them. The majority are opposed to the levy as a protest against the burdens placed on poor people. Defendants have been given fourteen days to comply with the order.)
