Mrs. Pearl Cressy, a married woman, was charged in the Caulfield Court with stealing bank notes valued at £22,000, the property of her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Palmer.

To this the mother acquiesced. The cash was brought home and hidden in a sofa and a gas stove. The next morning Mrs. Cressy rose much earlier than usual and rushed inio her mother's room and said the money had been stolen. The daughter thereafter seemed to be rich. She bought a car, dressed expensively, and offered to take her mother on a trip to England The case was dismissed.
