SELLING BOGUS SALVAGE STOCK. Palmerston North, November 30. The Police Court has been occupied two days in hearing a charge of false pretences against John Scully Hamers. The evidence showed that accused had wrongly represented himself to be agent for an insurance company at Auckland, which had lost £20,000 by a large fire at a woollen factory, and which was disposing of the salvage goods by means of agents. It was shown also that accused had greatly exaggerated the value and quality of the goods. The Bench declined to send the accused for\ trial, and discharged him.
