“AN UNUSUAL COURSE”
NON-PUBLICATION OF A NAME. I’ER PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTCHURu—, August 30. “On the grounds that due publicity will be given to the case when it is tried, publication of accused’s name is prohibited, under section 9 of the Offenders’ Probation Act.” This was the decision of two justices of the peace in cases in which an official, recently employed by a Government department in Christchurch was charged, on three counts, with haring forged treasury voucher receints for £7, £7, and £8 15s respectively. Mr R. A. Outlibert (for accused) in seeking a remand, said he asked tho bench to take an unusual course under section 9 of the Offenders’ Probation Act, and he asked for the non-publi-cation of accused’s name. The reason for the application was that accused’s father had had a serious operation and the knowledge that «. charge was hanging over the head of his son would be a great, shock to him. Tho old man was, said counsel, recovering rapidly. A remand was granted.
