Got £IOOO Brooch With False Cheque

K. Matthews” was a good and valid order for that amount, Edward Keifh Matthews, labourer, appeared before Mr J. S. Hanna, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Accused pleaded guilty and was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence. In opposing application for bail, Sen-ior-Detective Callaghan said accused had just arrived from Australia.
