UNEMPLOYMENT LEVY.
DEFAULTER FINED. "TOO LAZY TO MAKE BED." "This man is lazy, dirty, and will not work,” stated Constable F. N. Aplin in the Hamilton Magistrate’s Court yesterday giving evidence in a prosecution brought by Mr F. Wilson, inspector of factories, against Richard Anthony Newton, aged 26 years, of Whatawhata. Newton was charged with defaulting for more than one month in the payment of an Instalment of the unemployment levy, due on November i, 1932. He did not appear.
Constable Aplin read a statement by the accused in which he said he was married, living apart from his wife. He could get only odd jobs and was unable to pay the levy. The constable said he knew Newton, who had been living on some Maoris at Whatawhata. He had seen him lying on wet logs, too lazy to make a decent bed for himself. Defendant, who did not appear, was fined £l, with costs 12s.
