Rumble, Jl’„ heard in the Palmerston North Magistrate’s Court “This is especially foolish whefe purchases are for a small amount.” . . , „ ... Senior-Detective Quirke: Some of the wit'ibsses in this case are only shop assistants and acting under instructions from their employers. Mr. Abrahams: Exactly. I am not blaming the assistants but the business people who allow this to go on. If they take cheques from perfect strangers, what do they expect?
