(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, This Day.
In the Police Court, Edward Hedley Kitchener Hughes, who had pleaded guilty to obtaining credit for 50s by representing himself as a Government auditor, was sentenced to three years' reformative detention. The accused had buttressed his fraud by forcing a telegram purporting to be from the Hon. Mr. Downie Stewart, Minister of Finance. A police statement showed that the accused had already had two years' probation and three years' reformative detention, from which he was released in August, 1024.
