RASH MERCHANT
CASHED STRANGER'S CHEQUE JUDGE UNSYMPATHETIC. Per Press Association DUNEDIN, June 19. In the Supreme Court the following prisoners were sentenced: Clive Argyle Wood, forgery (three charges) one year’s imprisonment on each, to Le cumulative. Prisoner had been already sentenoed for a similar offence in the north, and was described as an expert in handwriting. Mr Justice Sim said it was another illustration of the way such offences were being committed by reason of tradespeople cashing big cheques for absolute strangers. He could not sympathise with them.
John Milne, convicted of breaking, entering, and theft, three years at the Borstal Institution; Colin Frederick McDonald, Robert McDonald McBeath, Frank Abbott McDonald, and William Russell Lamb, for breaking, entering, and theft, three years’ probation.
