CHARITABLE AID DECISION.
[by telegraph—press association.] New Plymouth, Monday. An important decision was given to-day of interest to Charitable Aid Boards. An old man named Murphy, who for years had been in receipt of charitable aid, has recently become entitled to a remission land certificate under the Naval and Military Settlers' Act of last session, which was valued at £30. The Charitable Aid Board applied to the Court for an order authorising the Board to sell the land scrip and retain the proceeds. The Secretary stated that the Board had expended £-10 in supporting Murphy. The application was objected to by Murphy, who said that as long as the money lasted he guaranteed not to come on the Board for relief. The Court sanctioned the disposal of tho scrip by the Board, Murphy protesting, and stating that he would write to the Horse Guards about it.
