An Old Men's Home Case

Mr Bctrttaß CfMtaiwi |A« B«»rt. Pres3 At the Christchurch Magistrate's Court on Monday, before Mr Beetham, S.M., the cane North Canterbury Charitable Aid Bowd v Miller was heard. Mr Loughrey appeared fcr the Board. Ihe claim was for £72, maintenance in the Old Men's Home, Ash barton, being at the rate of 8a per week for 180 week*. Mr Loughrey sain the defendant, who is an old mafl with a wooden leg, had been an inmate of the Home off and on during four years He had occasionally received sums of money, and he then went out without paying anything, and when his money was exhausted he returned. He had lately*-three months ago-received some money, and, as usual, left the Home. The Board now sought to recover from him (something towards the cost of his keep. The defendant was put into the box and related his circumstances, and accounted for the money he had received, showing that all that was left was £9. Bis statement was not shaken by cross-examination. Mr Beetham asked what the Board expected him to do. Mr Louchrey said that it aeemed the Board could ask for something out of the £9. What they wanted more particu larly was to show that the Home could not be made a convenience of; The defendant had said that should his means become exhausted he would again seek the shelter of the Home, and the Board expected him to pay something whnn he had it. Mr Beetham said the facts were these :—The man had been smashed up while on a Government wnrk; he had suffered amputation three times, and had been in Hospital at Wei lington and at Christchurch, for which he had bills Bent him for £45 and £SA. He then found his way to the Home, and for bis maintenance there he was now sued for £72 making a total of £167. Against this he had received sums of £8 and £5 from friends and £29 as eompenaation or some kind of allowance from the Government. When he got these moneys he relieved the Home from the expense of his keep, bought clothes and other necessaries, amongst which was a wooden leg. On his last retiring from the Home he had kept himßelf for three months, had hypothecated *7 for a better artificial limb, and was now trying to do something by selling papers, &c, to main tain himself. He had £2 left. The Board, in effect, asked him (Mr Beetham) to take this £2 out of the man's pocket. He | would not do that for the Charitable Aid Board or any other Board. He considered the man had not in any way imposed on the Board, and that he had a reasonable claim for the assistance he had received. The Board was nonsuited.

THE NEW LICENSING BILL.

Committee Sloctlons to b« Abolished Jff • Mora Hallway Pobi Ike XoUl Vot* of th« Colony- to Count for Prohibition. Wellington, August Si. The Licensing Bill which was circulated late this Afternoon consolidates and amends the existing law as to the sale of liquor. The principal amendments consist of the aboli tion of bottle and New Zealand wine licenses; the granting of wholesale and packet licenses only by the Licensing Com mittee at any quarterly meeting, the limita tion of wholesale licenses to the sale of not less than two gallons of spirits or wine, and not lees than five gallons of beer;, club charters may. not be granted for premises which have been refused a license, or in any district where the granting of licenses has been vetoed. No alteration has been made as to the disqualification of women to hold licenses further than that the wife of a lunatic is empowered to hold a license as if she were a widow. The Licensing Com mittee instead of being elective is made up of the chairmen of the different local authorities in the district, and of the chair men of education boards, charitable aid boards, and benevolent institutions, exer cising functions within the licensing dis trict, together with the Magistrate exercis ing jurisdiction within the licensing dis trict. No new native districts are to be created. The expense of taking a poll of the electors (including the cost of compiling, and, if necessary, printing the rolls) is to be defrayed out of moneys voted by Parlia ment, but all expenses incident to the conduct of business by a licensing com mittee are to be defrayed by the controlling local authority, who may recover from the other local authorities a contribution in proportion to the license fees received by them, or in districts where no license fees are received, a contribution in proportion to the population therein. * A single local authority not receiving license fees, pays a contribution equal to that of tb.9 lowest amount contributed, by any other local authority which receives fees. The taking of a poll of the electors for the purposes of this Act is to be conducted under the Electoral Act, 189?, and simultaneously with the poll taken for the election of members of the House of Representatives at every General Election; but in case of a dispute as to the result of any suoh first mentioned poll any twenty electors may demand an inquiry as if the poll were an election under the Regulation of Local Elections Act, 1876 The question of grant ing an increase of licenses after a census showing an increase of population, is to be determined at the poll occurring next after the gazetting of the results of such census, wh«vif the determination of the ordinary poll that licenses may be granted in the district be in the affirmative, it is to be held to affirm also the granting of additional new licenses not exceeding one license for every seven hundred head of such increase of population. When a member is returned without opposition, a poll is nevertheless to be taken at which if one-fourth of the total electors on the roll do not vote, the poll is void. At all polls a majority of the voting Soiled carries a reduction of licenses; three f ths of the votes polled are necessary to carry district prohibition; failing which licenses are to continue as they are, unless a reduction is adopted. The return of the poll is to be sent to the Minister who if he finds that three-fifths of all the votes polled in the colony are for prohibition, in favor of no license, then prohibition throughout the colony shall be deemed affirmed, and the Minister is to gazette such result, which is not to take effect for one year at least after the poll. In reference to increase of licenses, a population increase of 10 per cent, is sub stituted for 25 per cent. In clause 203 a provision is added giving authority to an owner to evict a tenant guilty of an offence which may entail disqualification of premises. Clause 205 is to enable an owner of premises who has evicted a tenant for having his license endorsed for suoh breach of the law, to apply to the committee for cancellation of such endorsement. Refreshment room liceniM at railway stations are totally abolished, saving that the existing licenses are to continue till the expiration of their contract time, and thereafter licenses are not to be renewed. Clubs will not be allowed to sell ..liquor at hours at which hotel ban are closed, and Clubs are brought under the, provisions of the Licensing Act and .will be subject to inspection. A vote for reduction will necessitate a Licens ing Committee, reducing the number, of licenses in the district by not less than 5 per cent, (exclusive of licenses forfeited for breaches of the law). From and after the carrying into effect of the total prohibition pell no liquor shall be imported into or manufactured in the colony. All liquors which may arrive in the colony after that date shall be placed in bond and exported from the colony at the expense of the im porters. Local authorities may make up any loss of revenue from a reduction of licen ses by imposing increased rates. An habi tual drunkard ia defined as a man convicted thrice in six months. Prohibited persons are to be photographed at their own expense, and their photos sent to the various publi cans, with a copy of the prohibition order. The third schedule gives the form of the general voting paper as follows :—ln respect of licenses: Do you wish the. number of licenses to be reduced in the district? Yes or no. Do you wish any licenses to be granted ? Yes or no. In each of the fore going cases the voter is to strike out the word ' yee* or the word 'no' according to his opinion. If the voter erases both words • yes ' and ' no' in respect of either of the proposals the vote will be void in respect of that particular proposal, and if he erases both words in the proposals his voting paper h.all be wholly void, and rejected,

TURNIPS. UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When over fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when forced to a great degree. Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely in ■water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened, — Goulding.
