BREACH OF BANKRUPTCY ACT.
AUCKLAND. Ist December. ' Mr. Justice Cooper, sitting at the Supreme Court to-day, sentenced Vincent Philip John Aylward, charged with crimes under the Bankruptcy Act, to six months' imprisonment. At the hearing of the case it was shown that prisoner, while an undischarged bankrupt, had assumed another name for the purpose of securing credit, and had secured- credit thereby without giving any intimation that he was an undischarged bankrupt. The case was adjourned to secure police reports upon the prisoner's character. His Honour said that the report of the probation officer was unfavourable. If prisoner had simply failed to disclose that he wae an undischarged bankrupt the case might have, been dealt with under the First Offenders Act or met by a fine, but he had deliberately and intentionally secured credit by false written statements jjurporting to come from another person.
