OFFENCE UNDER ELECTORAL ACT.
William Tait Hughson pleaded not guilty at the Parramatta Court to a charge, under the Electoral Act of 1912, of having witnessed a signature which he did not see signed. Evidence was given that George William Hatfield had signed an election form at his home, and lad sent it to Hughson by his wife.
Hughson said he was organising secretary of the Auburn-Granville electorate during the prohibition campaign. The signature on the form was his, but he could not remember signing it as he had signed a great many.
Mr. Williams, S.M., said it was the first case of this nature he had heard of, and the penalty for it was a very heavy one. He thought, however, that a warning would meet this case, and he bound Hughson over to be of good behaviour for a year in the sum of £20.

MORE CLOTHING NEEDED.
Although three and a half tons of clothing was collected in a recent drive at Granville the whole of it has been distributed to needy families in the district, and there are still many cases where children have to go to bed to wait till the only clothing they have is dried after their parents wash it.
Further supplies of clothing are needed, and should be sent to the Mayor or to Mr. W. Hughson, of William-street, Granville, organ- iser of the local relief association.
