LIBERAL CREDIT
RESPONSIBILITY OF TRADER f Per Press Association ] WELLINGTON, Oct. 27. “I think this is a case where the trader is partly responsible. It is putting undue temptation in a person s way to allow £5O of credit when a simple inquiry in a telephone book would disclose an imposition,” said Mr Mazengarb, in defending Fiona Marion King, aged 32, domestic, charged with the theft of a musquash fur coat, valued at £5O, the property of C. Smith, Ltd., two men’s suits and a bowler hat, valued at £8 10s, the property of Hallestein Bros. The police stated that considerable forethought had been shown. The coat was in good order and an expenditure of £3 3s would make it as good as new. When located the man with whom she was living was wearing the clothes that had been exchanged at the firm’s shop at Palmerston North. Accused was admitted to probation, conditions being the restitution of £3 3s and £8 10s.
