Analipsis.
Title.
Preamble.
1—Goods and Chattels of Ratepayers wheresoever found may be distrained upon for Rates.
AN ORDINANCE to extend and facilitate the remedy for recovery of rates made under the Public Works Ordinance.
Whereas it is expedient to extend the remedy for recovery of rates made under an Ordinance of the Superintendent and Provincial Council passed in this present session of the said Council, intituled “An Ordinance to provide for the maintenance of Public Works within the Province of New Plymouth,”
Be it therefore enacted by the Superintendent of the Province of New Plymouth, with the advice and consent of the Provincial Council thereof, as follows:—
- Every Order which may be made by any Justice of the Peace under the provisions of the recited Ordinance for payment of rates (with or without the costs of any proceedings rendered necessary by non-payment of such rates) may be enforced by distress and sale of any of the goods and chattels of the person against whom such Order shall be made, in the same manner as Orders for payment of money made by Justices are now by law enforceable.
2—Evidence in proceedings for recovery of Rates.
3—Ordinance incorporated with Public Works Ordinance.
Any Justice of the Peace in cases of summary conviction are by law made enforceable.
- The Lists of Ratepayers published by the Commissioners pursuant to the 20th section of the said Ordinance, or where any such list shall have been issued and recalled, the last issued of such lists, being revised by the Commissioners as in the said Ordinance is appointed, shall in any proceeding for the recovery of rates be conclusive evidence against the Defendant that he is rateable in the amount in which such revised List he appears to be rated; unless it is proved on his behalf that subsequently to the day appointed for hearing objections to the said List, and before the day appointed for payment of the monies sought to be recovered, he ceased to be Owner or Occupier (as the case may be) of the lands rated. And in any such proceeding it shall be open to show that the Defendant is actually chargeable in the amount sought to be recovered notwithstanding that his name may not appear in the List of Ratepayers, or that he may in such List appear chargeable.
