ARRESTED ON WHARF.
CHARGE AGAINST SOLICITOR. (Peb United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, December 2. Arrested in the act of boarding the Monowai for San Francisco this afternoon, Brian Dunningham, a solicitor, of Auckland, aged 23, had the holiday trip he and his wife were taking brought to an unexpected end. He was brought before Mr T. B. M’Neil, S.M., immediately and charged with, in April, 1929, aiding and abetting Ernest Cedric Chappell and Doris Fordyce Chappell to make a declaration that would have amounted to perjury if it had been made on oath in judicial proceedings. The declaration concerned a supported application for a loan from the State Advances Department. ■The accused said he had a strong defence to the charge, which he had no doubt would be withdrawn as soon as he returned to Auckland. He had a return ticket, and had announced two months ago his intention of taking a holiday in America. Bail was granted in the sum of £3OO and one surety of £3OO. Suppression of the name was refused.
