GAMBLE IN WHEAT.
“A shocking case.” How he gambled In wheat and lost was related in the Melbourne Insolvency Court recently by Henry George Dunn. He appeared before Judge Moule on an examination summons. His liabilities amounted to £6147, and his assets were nil. “In 1922 I lost a lot of money in wheat. That was my downfall.” Dunn explained. Judge Moule: This is a shocking case. You deserve to be sent to gaol. It is a revelation to me how these fanners went on dealing with you after you didn’t pay them for three years. To give Dunn an opportunity to search for books, and to obtain other witnesses, an adjournment to a Tlate to be fixed was granted.
