INCOME TAX CASE.
MAGISTRATE'S JUDGMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Tuesday., Mr. McArthur, S.M., gave judgment to-day in the case Commissioner of Taxes v. the Eastern Extension Australasian and China Telegraph Co., a claim to recover £74 unpaid income tax and interest. The company counterclaimed for £67 9s in respect of interest which it claimed was due on the costs in a successful action against; the Government, which costs were not paid for aome years after the action. The points were whether the interest on the judgment could be sustained against the Crown, and whether in an action > between the Crown and subjects the subjects had the right of set off.
The Magistrate said the subject must proceed by petition. la was just, however, that Interest on costs in such a case should be allowed against the Crown, ae the Commissioner had the use of defendants' money. Judgment was for- plaintiff for the amount claimed, and he was of opinion tliat defendants had a claim against Government on which they should proceed by petition. Notice of appeal was given.
