Stayed too Long.
(Per Unitbd Press Association. )
Wancanci, June 2.
With reference to the arrest of John Frere, alias John Norman Jones, at Auckland, charged with obtaining £260 from the Union Bank of Australia by representing falsely that he was the John N. Jones named in a certain letter of credit, it appears that Frere rented a small farm at Okoio. near Wanganui, and extracted a letter from the private box of John Norman Jones, a settler, also living at Okoio. The letter contained a draft from Ireland for £260 on Che Union Bank of Australia, Auckland, where Frere cashed it, getting someone to identify him as John Norman Jones. Some months elapsed before Jones discovered that the draft had been stolen, and he made a demand on the bank, which paid over the money a second time.
