CHARGES DISMISSED
ALLEGED THEFTS. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, November 29. Remarking that it would be a waste of time sending the case on to. the jury, Mr Hewitt, S.M., in the Police Court to-day dismissed a charge of theft of musical instruments, gramophone parts, stationery and other articles valued at £lO7 6/9, the property of Ernest Dawson, Ltd., Wellington, preferred against Robert Harold Court, the manufacturers’ representative. It was alleged by the prosecution that Court had removed certain goods from the shop occupied by Ernest Dawson, Ltd., without the authority of Mr Dawson, the managing director of the company, while he was in Auckland.
The Magistrate after hearing the evidence of Dawson and the principal witnesses for the prosecution, said it appeared to him that Dawson had been in trouble and had made arrangements whereby when he went away Court was to take security, and it was definitely fixed what he was to take. That appeared to be all that happened.
