CHARGE TOO SERIOUS FOR BAIL, S.M. SAYS
[Special to “Northern Advocate ” 3 AUCKLAND, This Day.
“Owing to the very grave nature of the charges—abortion being one of the most serious in the criminal calendar — and the nature of the facts disclosed in the evidence, I will not allow bail in this case,” said Mr Wyvern Wilson, S.M., in the Police Court yesterday afternoon, when Dorothy Baker, a married woman, was committed for trial. Mrs Baker, for whom Mr M. Robinson, instructed by Mr A. V. Fraer, appeared, was charged with aiding and abetting Raymond Grigg, on September 1, 1936, at Panmure, to unlawfully use a certain instrument, or other means, upon a girl with intent to procure a certain event, and, further, with counselling or procuring Grigg, on August 25, 1936, unlawfully to use an instrument, or other means, upon a girl. Detective-Sergeant J. Walsh prosecuted.
Accused pleaded not guilty and was committed to the Supreme Court for trial.
