PASSING CHEQUES
OFFENCE VIEWED SERIOUSLY By Telegraph—Press association WELLINGTON, November 2 The finding of a cheque book in a whare at Titahi Bay, where he was working, led to the appearance of David Allan Ferry, aged 29 years, a labourer, passing two cheques for £3 each, signed by himself and cashed by a restaurant proprietor. The first was presented by a taxi-driver to whom it was given for a drive about the city. Accused had been drinking and afterwards went to the police and made a statement. In Imposing two months' gaol the magistrate said the cashing of false cheques was too serious an offence for leniency to be shown.
