(Per
GREYMOUTH, April' 6. Pleading guilty to six charges of wilfully making false returns under the Land and Income Tax Act in the past six years, George Alfred Webster, aged 72, described as a retired umbrella maker, was fined £5 on each charge by Mr. F. F. Reid. S.M., in the Magistrate's Court today. It was stated by counsel for the Commissioner of Taxes that the fa'se returns represented a total deficienc-y in tax of £681. The magistrate said that in respect of one or two years the amounts were substantial, and he found difficulty in understanding how anyone corid hfive 1 misunderstood the position. However, in view of counsel's remarks, the magistrate thought it fair to accept the case as one of an uneducated man not familiar with suc$l things as tax returns.
