MONEY ON FALSE PRETENCES
BORROWED ON LANDLORD'S GOODS.
SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT.
By Telegraph.—Press Assoeiatioa. Auckland, December 22.
Arrested at a seaside resort while on his honeymoon, Ernest Henry Ricketts, aged 50, a motor driver, will spend the next two months in Mount Eden gaol. The police said that Ricketts while staying at the boarding house of a man named White invited a moneylender to the house and, by representing himself as White and the owner of the furniture, obtained £B. ’He then got married. The probation officer said that accused’s practice was to get into touch with clergymen. They found him jobs and he let them down. He deserted his wife at Christchurch some years ago.
Counsel for accused said that his bride was prepared to “stick to him.”
