BOGUS BUSINESS
MAN COMMITTED FOR SENTENCE \PIIESS ASSOCIATION TILESRAU.) HAMILTON, February 7. An echo of the Overseas Passengers, Ltd., case was heard at the Hamilton Magistrate's Court to-day when Harold Bradley Brownrigg, who is at present serving a sentence, was committed to the Supreme Court at Auckland for sentence on charges of false pretences. The evidence showed that the accused advertised for a young man willing to invest £2OO in a flourishing business, and to be employed at £3 a week. Douglas Stewart, a Presbyterian minister, answered the advertisement, and, satisfied with the credentials of the accused, placed his son in his employ, and handed over £SO and £l5O on different occasions, as agrered upon. The "business later proved to be bogus. The accused pleaded guilty to both charges.
