ECHO OF CASE AT HAMILTON. BROWNRIGG’S FALSE PRETENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Hamilton, Last Night. An echo of the Overseas Passages Limited case was heard at the Hamilton Magistrate’s Court to-day, when Harold Bradley Brownrigg, who is at present serving a sentence, was committed to the Supreme Court at Auckland for sentence on charges of false pretences. 'The evidence that Brownrigg advertised for a young man willing to invest £2OO in a flourishing business and to be employed at £3 weekly. Douglas Charles Stewart, Presbyterian minister, answered the advertisement and, satisfied with the credentials of Brownrigg, placed his son in his employ and handed over £5O and £l5O on different occasions as agreed upon. The business later proved to be a bogus one. Brownrigg pleaded guilty to both charges.
