ORDER CANCELLED
GRANDFATHER'S DIFFICULTIES,
Unusual facts were revealed in a ease in the Magistrate's Court to-day, in which a man applied for the cancellation of a maintenance order made against him in April for the support of his son's child, and for the remission of the arrears. The evidence showed that the father of the child had left on an overseas vessel and his wife could not locate him. The wife had succeeded in obtaining an order against the grandfather. Then the child's father returned to New Zealand, and was arrested in the ordinary way, but the grandfather .entered into a bond of £200 for the regular payments of the maintenance. Tho son disappeared and the grandfather fell into arrears, as he was buying a property to further his livelihood, that of a poultry-farmer, and could not keep up the payments. After hearing the evidence, the Magistrate, Mr. Page, agreed that under the circumstances the complainant could not make the payments and accordingly cancelled the order and remitted the arrears.
