MONTHLY SITTING OF MAGISTRATE AT WHAKATANE.
f . ; Social Security r False Declaration There was a very light list of Police cases before Mr E. L. Walton, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court at Whakatane yesterday. Mero Roihi, widow, was convicted .and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon within 12 months on .a charge of obtaining £45 10/- from the Social Security Department by means of a false declaration. A condition of the suspension of sentence was that she pay back the £45 10/.at the rate of £1 a week. There was another similar charge . involving £l7O, but that was dismissed because the information was . out of date. Constable R. F. Julian, prosecut- . ing, told the Cort that Mrs Roihi, a. widow, had .been drawing a widow’s full pension and child allowance on the strength of a declaration that she had no income. Meanwhile she had been working at the /District Hospital and earning £4 16/--,.a week. She admitted the offence and offered no explanation.
