BRIEF REPLIES TO CORRESPONDENTS

' "Important." ' (Christchurch) : 'If Grand Jury does not return a true Bill, then man m custody goes free, but there is nothing to prevent the Grown presenting a fresh bill. The Idea of the. Grand Jury is to lecidc

whether the case -will go before com-

before the magistrate, who will then make up his mind which side to believe. — "Anxious" (Te Awamutu): Despite age of the boy there appears to be no reason why proceedings should not be taken. — "Reader" (Dunedin) :

You should swear an information be-

mon jury for trial. —"lnquirer" (Hawera): (1) You should protect yourself by joining the Drivers' Union, (2) You cannot claim anything. — "Anxlous" (Lyall Bay): Yes.—"Solo Whist" (Wellington): Yes. —"C.D.X." (Wellington): Acceptance of the papers without protest renders you liable for payment. If the watch was hot guaranteed, you will have to, pay for the repairs. —"Hippo" (Palmerston N)' No license would be required! —• "Anxious" (Ashbiirton): They cannot compel him to' stay at home.—"lnqulrer" (Otangaroa): You may sue for the wages due to you. In the event of the liquidation of the company, your claim would take precedence of those of ordinary creditors.—"Ferrel" (Winchester) • Have no information on the subject. —"Reader" (Balfour): Both are grown m the ground—not on trees.—"Worried" (Hastings): You do not seem to have a very strong case, but if not entitled to a separation you \ should be granted a maintenance order. The house, being m your name, is your property, and you could eject your husband if necessary .—"lnquirer" (Dunedin): You may sue for damages, "Milky" (Christchurch): Certainly*,he \s entitled to his wages up to date.— "Hard Up" (Waihi): Unless there is an agreement to the contrary, you are entitled to payment on completion of your contract, but not to wages until the date of payment.—"Reader" (Napier): This case can be defended and evidence of all the oiroumstancos laid

fore a J.P. that your husband has failed to maintain you: A warrant, will then be issued for his arrest. — "Inquirer" (Kopaki): No. He. probably acted m good faith. —"Urgent" (New Plymouth): No. —"Wondering" (Wanganul): It is .; impossible to answer this question without knowing every award of the court. —"Anxious" (Cambridge): It is doubtful whether you would get maintenance for yourself, but he must support his son. — "Clarice" (Wellington): No. —"J. Walker" (Dunedin): You are entitled to earn £62 per annum and still receive the full pension. —"Inquirer" (Gisborne): (1) You can only get someone to, make inquiries for you. (2) You are not entitled. —"Fogged" (Martinborough): The amount charged is not intended to be anything m the way -of a tax. The fee chargeable is a reasonable one and not any set amount.—"Worker" (Wanganui): If there is a sufficient fence there now, it is unlikely that a magistrate would make an order for a new close-boarded fence. You should refuse to pay and have the matter broSjprht before the court. —"lnquirer" (Canterbury): It is true that the custom Is to pay for such holidays, and unless you are paid for working days only, you are entitled ,to payment m full. —"Reader" (Christchurch): You are too late. — "Justice" (Ponsonby): Such a sentence 's quite m order. —"Constant Reader" (Southland):: You may shoot them, Nobody elae Is entitled to do so.
