FALSE PRETENCES AND FORGERY ALLEGED
(P.A.) DUNEDIN, February 23. further cases arising out of alleged irregularities in acquittance rolls used in the payment of casual clerks employed on Army medical boards were heard in the Magistrate’s Court today when Bayne Townsend, a clerk, and John Gavin Mclntyre, a member of the military forces, were charged with false pretences and forgery. It was alleged that Townsend, by appending fictitious signatures to the rolls, had obtained £23/5/4 and Mclntyre £27. Both the accused were alleged to have forged false names on the rolls with intent that they should be acted upon as genuine. After evidence had been heard, McIntyre was committed for trial, bail in his own recognisance for £lOO and a similar surety being allowed. The case against Townsend is not finished.
