SUSTENANCE FRAUDS.
NO UNDUE HARSHNESS. REPRESENTATIONS TO MINISTER. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Wednesday. When the Rev. T. Halliday, representing social services, asked the acting Minister of Labour (the Hon. P. C. Webb) during a deputation to-day that the Government cease prosecuting men for 6115161181106 frauds in cases where the men had miscalculated over a period of years, the Minister said the department would never be harsh where mistakes had been unconsciously made, but he pointed out that in many cases the men had set themselves out deliberately to defraud, not so much the Government but their fellowworkers. In every such case, even where a prosecution was not made, it would be demanded of the men that they make restitution.
