In sentencing Simpson to six months’ imprisonment,, his Honour said the prisoner had been convicted on charges of fraud. His offence was a most serious one. He did not believe Simpson’s statement that the offences dated from November, but took the view that they had been going On for a longer period. The sentence would not be a heavy one as it was the prisoner’s first lapse. Addressing the other accused, his Honour said the ends of justice would be served by fines.
