UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS
HOSPITAL BOARD ASPERSIONS. RESENTED BY DEPARTMENT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Saturday. The Immigration Department is indignant at the aspersions cast on it over Hie care of undesirable immigrants which occupied the attention, of the Hospital Board Committee this week. It says it was not approached in any way, and gave no “shuffling reply,” as reported by one member. The Department knew of the case, and every precaution was taken to prevent them landing. As soon as it was known the family was returning telegrams were sent to Auckland requesting immediate action, but apparently as they paid their own fares the law as it stood was insufficient to keep them out.
