' Thomas Cunningham, a well-known Hastings auctioneer, who at Hastings on Wednesday was fined £2 on each of six charges of failure to account for money received as the proceeds of sales, appeared again this morning on eleven indictable charges of fraudulently failing to account for moneys received. The total amount involved in seventeen counts is £lls 17s. The accused’s evidence showed that he had used the money for paying other people. He pleaded guilty and was committed for sentence at Napier, bail being allowed in the sum of £3oo.—Press Association telegram. Father (at son’s twenty-first birthday party) : “ You are of age now and ought to help me a little.” Son: “Yes, dad; what can Ido for you?” Father : “ You might pay the last three instalments on your baby perambulator.”
