Pearl Cressy, married, was charge-; in the Caulfield Court, with stealingbank notes valued at £22,000. the property of her mother, Gqrtrude Palmer, who gave evidence reluctantly, and somewhat incoherently. She said that her daughter advised her to convert Government bonds, valued at £22,000, into cash, and reinvest in mortgages * at 8 per cent, which was a better proposition, to which the mother acquiesced. The cash was brought home and hidden in a sofa and gas stove. The following morning, the daughter, Cressy, rose earlier, much earlier than usual, and rushed into her mother’s room and exclaimed that the money had been stolen. The daughter, thereafter, became opulent, bought car, dressed expensively* and offered to take the mother on a trip to England. The case was dismissed.
