"HAPPY ENDING."
CHEQUES CASE DISMISSED.
YOUNG MAN SAILS FOR SYDNEY.
Exercising his magisterial powers of discretion, Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., on Saturday decided not to convict James Frederick Eyan, aged 24, a publicity expert, on charges of obtaining sums of £5 and £1 14/6 by means of valueless cheques from Dorothy McCrie-Campbell. Accused had been remanded from yesterday, when Mr. Hunt said that if accused left by the Marama nothing more would" be heard of the matter. Mr. Noble, who appeared for Ryan, said: "Your Worship will remember that you said yesterday that there was no fraudulent intent in this case. All restitution has been made and the young man left for Australia yesterday. Thanks to your Worship's humane consideration for the errors of youth, the whole transaction has had a happy ending." Mr: Hunt: If I enter a conviction I might prejudice him. Mr. Noble: That is what I mean. Mr Hunt: I will not convict him. I will exercise my discretion and dismiss the case.
