FAILURE TO KEEP PROPER BOOKS
Further consideration was given by Mr. W. Cr. Riddell, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court this morning to the charge against Garnet B. Holmes, a charge of having failed to keep proper books and Accounts as required by the Act. The charge arose out of the bankruptcy of the accused in March last. To-day, James Macintosh, accountant, eaid that Holmes had kept a record of his transactions in a book of first entry, though they were not properly classified. He (witness) would be able to make up a statement from the book with slight assistance from Holmes, but it would take* him about four weeks to do so. The Magistrate referred to the opinions or various judges that intent did not enter into the matter, and while Holmes had employed various book-keepers; he himself was reiponaible. Accused would be convicted and sentenced to a month's Lmpri«onm«nt without hard labour.
