OLD MEN IN TROUBLE
FALSE STATEMENTS IN PENSION APPLICATIONS.
Hastings, July 20,
At the Magistrate’s Court, two applicants for old age pensions were charged with attempting to obtain pension certificates by means of wilfully false statements in filling in wrong incomes on the forms. His Worship addressed a severe reprimand to the accused, saying that lie could fine them up to £SO or three months’ hard labour. Accused were old men, and he would not he hard on them this time, but he wanted those concerned to know that if they made false statements and were convicted he would have to consider sending them to gaol without the option of a fine. He must put a stop to this sort of thing.
