Being a stranger he was unable to find the necessary bail, and had to put the night in gaol. On being confronted with bis alleged victim she at once said she had never seen him before, and he was immediately discharged. Counsel said it was a hard case, as Cameron had to leave his business and spend money and was now stranded. Mr Beetham, S.M., said he was sorry he could do nothing for the man.
