AND CHARITABLE AID. Some discussion took place at the meeting of the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board in Masterton yesterday concerning the liability of the Board for the maintenance of families who have been deserted by the husband and father. A case was mentioned in which a man whose family resides in the Forty-Mile Jtfush had joined a certain steamer, and nothing more had been heard of him. Mr S. Bolton expressed the opinion that steps should be taken to bring the man back and make him support his family.
