REPORT ON THE NEW TERRITORIES FOR THE YEAR 1932.
B. SOUTHERN DISTRICT.
STAFF.
Mr. J. S. MacLaren went on leave on 5th May and was succeeded as District Officer South, by Mr. B. C. K. Hawkins.
EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE.
2. Figures for expenditure and revenue are given in Tables I-III. Revenue collected by the department is set out under appropriate heads in Table II (a) and shows an increase of $5,393.60 over the 1931 figure. This increase is mainly accounted for by increased returns from sales of Crown Land, Forestry Licences, and fees for stone and earth (including sand) permits.
3. Table II (b) shows revenue collected by other departments and II (c) gives, for purposes of comparison, the total revenue of the district collected during the past two years, exclusive of the revenue collected by the Imports and Exports department.
4. The grand total contained in Table II (c) shows an increase of $92,321.80 over the 1931 figures, an increase which is almost entirely due to increased returns from Village Rates and Crown rent for inland lots.
5. Table III contains a comparative statement of Expenditure and Revenue of the department for the last ten years.
MAGISTRACY.
6. Tables IV to VIII show details of the cases heard by the District Officer sitting as Police Magistrate and as Judge of the Small Debts Court.
7. The figures show a decrease in the number of police cases in 1932 as compared with 1931. There were few serious offences and no cases were committed for trial in the Supreme Court.
8. Table VI shows the number of Juvenile Offenders dealt with in the District Office South Court in 1932.
9. Ten cases of deaths in unusual circumstances were reported to the Police Magistrate during the year. Two death inquiries (without Jury) were held.
