FRAUD ALLEGED
CHINESE IN DOCK SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS That Charlie Lee, a middle-aged Chinese, had received money from other Chinese on the false reprelentatfon that he could have their temporary Immigration permits axtsnded, was the allegation made ■t the Police Court to-day. There were eight charges against Lee of obtaining money totalling £64. He was further charged with the theft of IS. Ham Yip, who arrived in New Zealand in October, 1925, on a six months’ permit, said that at the end of six months Lee told him he had an extension, and was paid £2o—£lo for witness, and a further £lO for a companion. A customs officer said that Tam Yip and two other Chinese had had ti-eir permits extended, but not on the application of accused. No payment had to be made for extensions. In a statement to Detective Nalder, accused denied the charges, saying that the other Chinese had invented them to make the position easier for themselves. Lee reserved his defence, and was committed to the Supreme Court for trial.
