“£50 NOTHING TO ME”
ALLEGED THEFT OF £l7OO LONDON, July 10. Gordon Ashcroft, aged 30, an Australian, who styled himself a stockbreeder, and who had been living at the Savoy Hotel, was remanded at the Marlborough Street Police Court to-day on a charge of stealing £l7OO from James Smith in Piccadilly. Replying to the arresting detective’s suggestion that he had cashed two of the stolen £5O notes, Ashcroft said: "I may or may not have done so. Fifty pounds isn’t a lot of money to me.” (A subsequent cable stated that Ashcroft did not answer to bail when his case was called on.)
