A DISHONEST TRADER.
SIX ■ AIONTIIS’ IMPRISONMENT. CHRISTCHURCH, May 11. In the Supreme Court, James Wright Fynes, aged 58, formerly a cafe proprietor, on two charges of breaches of the Bankruptcy Act, was sentenced to six months in gaol. The Crown Prosecutor said the prisoner had incurred heavy debts, and had not given any’ account as to where the money went. Fynes had been sponging on women and robbing them. Mr Justice Adams said Fynes had been skimming the edge of the law since he came to New Zealand from Sydney in 1922, and had made a practice of defrauding women. He had been guilty of dishonesty.
