A TENEMENT CASE.
NEW RULING BY MAGISTRATE. B> Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A new ruling was made by Mr, Page, S.M. at the Magistrate’s Court in a tenement case in which the landlord applied for possession on the ground that the tenant had fallen into arrears of rent for the past six months. The plaintiff held that the Act allowed the Magistrate no option but to make an order, but defendant stated that the rent had fallen into arrears on account of his continued illness, and that he had fiv© children, while plaintiff had only one. The Magistrate held that he had to use discretion in such a case, and he refused to make an order while the current rent was paid as well as a sum off the arrears.
