Charge under the Destitute Persons Belief Ordinance. —Daniel Bishop appeared in obedience to a summons issued upon an information laid by Mr. Snell, the Chairman of the Taranaki Relief Board. The defendant was asked what he had to say why an order (under the provisions of the above Ordinance) should not be made upon him to pay something towards the support of John and William Henry, who are grandsons of defendant and children of Mrs. Mary Bishop, the said children being destitute, and unable to support themselves. The defendant pleaded that he was ' not in a position to pay anything towards the support of the said children. After hearing the evidence given by Mr. Snell and the defendant, the Resident Magistrate ordered the latter to pay into Court, every Saturday, 2s. 6d. towards the support of the children in question —the first payment to be made on the 19th instant.
