WELLINGTON.
May 11.
At the Magistrate's Court yesterday afternoon William Ernest Greatrex, of the firm of Greatrex and Sons, appeared to answer an information charging him with neglecting to furnish a statement of his property in the manner required by the Property Tax Assessment Act, 1879, within tbe prescribed time. At the outset Mr Brandon, on behalf of the defendant, asked the Magistrate to decide a point which he desired to raise preparatory to evidence being entered into, viz., whether the defendant had a right to set off all debts due by the firm in Wellington to the firm in London, the members of both firms being the same. After a long discussion his Worship said the question was one largely affecting the mercantile community,, and he would take time to consider the point. The hearing of the case was adjourned until Tuesday next. ___^
