DRAPER'S FALSE PRETENCE
1 Five weeks' . imprisonment, to be served concurrently with the term he is at present serving, was the sentence imposed upon Francis Charles Blackey, aged 36, a draper, in the Magistrate's Court yesterday, when he pleaded, guilty to obtaining from W. Burgess and others, at Stratford, sums of money amounting to £3 12s 6d by a false pretence. Detective-Sergeant L. Revell said that the accused had been employed as a canvasser for Wallace's Directories in the Taranaki district, but his services were dispensed with in January. He' continued still to represent that he was working for his former employers, and by that means he collected subscriptions from various business people. He had been sentenced to imprisonment in Wanganiii for some of those offences.
