FALSE PRETENCES: A WOMAN’S PROMISE TO MARRY
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. “You deceived this man and got this money by false pretences. I can see no difference between a person who does that and an ordinary thief,” said Mr Justice Callan when Dorothy Carter, aged 43, a matrimonal agent, appeared for sentence after she was found guilty of obtaining £3OO and a ring valued at £65 from Josef Fridditon Gabriel by false pretences. It was alleged that she falsely represented she was not married and was prepared to marry him. The prisoner was admitted to probation for three years, a special condition being that she should not be connected in any way with a matrimonial business. It was stated that restitution had been made.
