TRIED IT AGAIN.
IN THE SAME SHOP.
MAN WITH VALUELESS
CHEQUE.
FIRST DAY OUT OF GAOL.
(B.v Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
Duncan Jolmstone, who in February passed a valueless cheque for £10 13/ in a Petone shop kept by A. T. Candy, came out of gaol yesterday, and immediately got a cheque form, filled it up for £2 15/, and attempted to pass it in the same shop. The owner recognised him, so he left and cashed the cheque in another shop. Candy had notified the police and Johnstone was arrested. He was sentenced to-day to four months' imprisonment.
