ALGAR APPEAL CASE
MENTAL DEFECTIVES’S GIFTS JUDGMENT RESERVED Press Associatioii WELLINGTON, Today. In the Algar versus Tasker appeal case, the court did not think it necessary to hear counsel for respondent, and reserved its decision. Haydn Algar, of Kilbirnie, a builder, and Annie Algar, his wife, proceeded in the Appeal Court against Harry James Taskej*, of Porirua, a mental defective, suing his administrator, the Public Trustee, for £315. This sum was given to the Algar family by Tasker during the period between his discharge from Porirua in 1917, and his return there in 1927. Some time ago the Public Trustee was allowed a nlaim for the recovery of the £315 on the grounds that Tasker was of unsound mind at the time the gift was made, and Algar at once lodged the appeal, which has just been heard.
