BAIL ESTREATED
COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE. CHRISTCHURCH, August 20.
An order estreating the £5O bail in the ease of John Hartland Pearson, who absconded, was made by the magistrate (Mr E. D. Mosley) to-day. The bondsman was John Sinclair Langley. The police said Pearson had previously been remanded on a charge of false pretences, but had not been seen since. According to counsel’s statement, Langley borrowed the money from Pearson’s wife, who had herself borrowed it. The magistrate said that a surety was not a nominal undertaking, and a person entering into one must have some responsibility.
