MEAL BY FRAUD
A sentence of fourteen days' imprisonment was imposed on Francis Patrick Mulligan, labourer, aged 44, when he appeared in the Magistrate's Court yesterday, charged with obtaining a 2s meal by fraud at a Courtenay Place restaurant the previous night. It was stated that Mulligan had been sentenced to seven days' imprisonment in November for a similar offence. "I don't know what made me do it," said the defendant when the police stated that he had gone into the restaurant, eaten a meal, and then informed the proprietor that he had no money.
