POLICE COURT.

—This Day.

(Before It. C. Barstow, Fsq., R.M.)

TOPEES. The bacchanalians were dealt with in the usual fines and penalties.

STEALING PIGEONS,

Alfred Cooper was charged with the larceny of two pigeons, value £3, the pro perty of K. Wright, on the 29th ult. Mr Tyler, who appeared for the prisoner, said he" did not think the circumstances would warrant a conviction for felony. The prisoner was with a boy named Tait, in the employment of Mr Cargo, and the boy Tait asked him to go into a stable en the adjoin ing property, belonging to complainant, and bnng out two pigeons. Cooper got the pigeons, and handed them to the boy Tait, uucler the impression that they belonged to Mr H. H. Kissling, who appeared for the prosecutor, said his client did not desire to press the case. He only wished to know what had become of the pigeons. His Worship said he could not per mit the case to be withdrawn unless there wcro circumstances which jus tified it. Mr Tyler said the pigeons had been given to Tait, placed in a can, and taken away. Sub-Inspector Pardy asked for a remand until Monday. Other boys were mixed up with the case, and he desired to make in quiries. He was not satisfied with the case as it stood at present. Mr Tyler said if his instructions were correct, the boy Tait should be in the dock. Remanded till Monday. Bail allowed.

DESERTING FBOM A SHIP.

Charles King, charged with a breach of the Merchant Shipping Act by deserting from the barque Lorraine, pleaded guilty. Sub-Inspector Pardy asked that the case be adjourned until Monday, as there were charges of larceny pending against the prisoner. Sentence deferred until Monday. WIFE DESERTIOK.

William Negus did not appear on sum mons, charging him with neglecting to pro vide for the support of his wife. Warrant ordered to be issued.

Charge of False Pretences Against Mrs Major Croker.

Mary Ami Croker, a person of respectable appearance, was charged that she did, on thelSth of May, at Newmarket, unlawfully and knowingly falsely pretend to John Jenkins that she had money to the amount of £11 10s in the hands of William Thorne, of Auckland, solicitor, and that she then had authority to draw an order upon the said William Thorne for that _sum; and that a certain order or paper_ writing, which she then produced and delivered to John Jenkins then, was a good and valid order for the payment of tho said sum ; and that by means' of these false pretences she un lawfully and fraudulently obtained from John Jenkins one Ulster cloak, one cloth jacket, one mackintosh coat, one silk umbrella, three felt /hats, two pairs boots, six yards of fancy ribbon, and other goods, with intent to defraud, the said John Jenkins. Mr Hesketh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Tyler for the defence. The prisoner on being called took her seat in the dock. Mr Tyler : I hope the Court will allow the prisoner to stand on the floor of the Court. I presume my learned friend, Mr Hesketh, will not make any objection. Mr Hesketh : I do not give my consent because it is Mrs Croker any more than if she were the poorest woman in the com munity. I apprehend the question will be whether this is a felony or misdemeanour. His Worship :It is a misdemeanour. Mr Tyler : I think, in the Supreme Court, persons accused of a misdemeanour are Deimitted to stand on the floor of the ttourt. , . , His Worship : It has been admitted as a favour. The ordinary practice is that when a person appears lie is allowed to stand on the floor of the Court; but when he appears in the custody of the police, he goes into the dock. That is the place where the police take care -of persons who are in their hands. , Mr Tyler : She was not m the charge ot the police. When her name was called she was out on bail, His Worship : She answers to her bail. Mr Tyler : I would ask that she may be permitted to stand here in order to instruct His Worship : The Bench has no objec tion to her being removed from the dock in order to give you instructions. Mrs Croker was then accommodated with a chair behind her solicitor. Mr Hesketh said Mr Meyers was per mitted to sit on the floor ot the Court, but Mr Utting was in the dock, but he (Mr Hesketh) apprehended that Mr Utting would also have been allowed to sit on the floor of the Court if he had applied for leave. In the case of Major Pitt, charged with bribery, and G. O. Davis, charged with treasonable libel, they were both allowed to sit on the floor of the Court. The charge was then read over, and prisoner through her counsel pleaded not guilty. , . Mr Hesketh said he was not prepared this morning to bring forward the whole of the evidence, of which there would be a great amount, but he was prepared with the evidence of the prosecutor and his assistant. He was Avilling to adduce the evidence of these witnesses, and then have the case adiourned until Monday; or to withhold the whole of ths evidence until Monday, as the Court might adjudge. He believed, however, that the case would occupy only a : short time, as the facts to be deposed to by the prosecution were very brief. He did not think the evidence of the prosecutor and his assistant would occupy more than half-an-hour, but he was not prepared with the evidence in support this morning. , I His Worship said he would consult the convenience of the parties. Mr Tyler thought it would be well to proceed with such evidence as his learned friend could adduce, and then adjourn until Monday at 12 o'clock. Mr Hesketh acquiesced in this course. The learned counsel was proceeding to detail the facts, which will be found in the appended evidence, when Mr Tyler asked that all witnesses should be ordered out ot Court, and His Worship gave an order ac cordingly. ~ , , . ! Mr Hesketh then weut over othor tacts to .be shewn in evidence. He would be able to shew that prisoner had made other trans actions of a similar nature ; had given orders upon Mr Thorne, which had not been paid. Goods had been given and returned when the police.had accompanied the tradesmen, or when the tradesmen threatened to put the matter in the hands of the police It would be shewn that Mrs Croker had no right to draw these orders, as she had given othei orders upon Mr Thorne which had not been paid. There were three points in the information :-(l) That Mr3 Croker falsely and fraudulently represented that she had £11 10s in Mr Thome's hands. (2) -f hat she fraudulently represented that she had full authority to draw that order. (3) That she represented that the order was a good order for £11 10s, and that the sum would be paid when the order was presented. He sub mitted that it would not be necessary in support of the charge to produce evidence or any expression, clothing, or representation. It would be quit* sufficient in law if the idea were conveyed ; if from the conduct of the parties, only on* idea were conveyed. It was not what was in the mind of the party who obtained the goods, but what idea her conduct or language would convey to my reasonable mind, whather she conveyed the

idea that the order was good and valid This was not only consistent with reason and cemmon sense, but was supported by the authority of the Court for Crown Cases Reserved. In a case where a man went about London dealing with various trades men, and who had 5s 2d in one bank and nothing in another, he obtained various goods from tradesmen, and got the discount taken off. In some cases he paid so much cash and gave a cheque upon the bank in Avhich there was 5s 2d to his credit. In other cases he paid-part cash and gave a cheque upon the bank in which there was no money to his credit. In all cases he gave the cheques after discount had been allowed off, and paid cash to shew that it was a cash transaction. The case was tried before the Recorder of London. The jury found that the prisoner had got the goods without intending to pay. The Recorder reserved sentence and raised three points for the opinion {of the Court for Crown cases reserved. This Court held that the mere giving of: the cheque with out any words did not support the first representation, that he had that amount of money to his credit, because if it were so held by the Court, then every man who gave a cheque upon an overdrawn account would be guilty of obtaining money by false pretences ; and they knew that in many cases merchants in London did very often draw cheques upon their banks in which their accounts were over drawn. But though this did not support the first representation it supported the other two, from the mere act of giving the cheque itself. It might be contended by his learned friend that the words in the order, "the first funds," would save the prisoner. He (Mr Hesketh) would, how ever, contend that the act was complete when the order was placed upon the table and the goods obtained. Whatever lan guage the order might contain, there was the language, "Of course, this is a cash transaction, as I do not know you," and the answer, " Oh, yes, most certainly. I will give you an order upon Mr Thorite." Upon that representation discount was given. There Avas no intimation from the prisoner that she would ask Mr Thome to pay out of the first money. He did not ask the Court to protect men who were careless and negligent in their manner of conducting business, but the Court would not allow tradesmen to be openly cheated when they placed reliance upon the state ments of persons who came to deal with them, and he would submit that there was not negligence in this case. Could the idea conveyed by the prisoner in this case be any other than that it was a cash trans action. (Regina v. Hageldcn, 31, L.T., p. 351.) This was the case alreaey referred to. Here it was found that the prisoner did not intend to meet the cheques, but to defraud. The Court held that it was not necessary that the fraudelent representation should be made in express words. (Counsel quoted at length from the opinions of the judges.) The principle was carried still further in the case of Regina v. Cooper, 36, L.T., p. 671. Here the prisoner falsely alleged that he was a dealer in potatoes. The only evidence was a, letter from the prisoner to prosecutor asking him to send two trucks of potatoes at a price named. Prisoner said: " Let them bo of good quality," and alleged that ho would then be able to do a good trade for both parties, and he promised to remit cash on receipt of the goods and invoice. It was held that the false pretences were proved, the letter reasonably conveying the impression alleged in the indictment. The jury convicted, and the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions reserved points for the opinion of the Court of Crown Cases as to whether the letter had supported the alleged false representations. The Court held that the necessary implication would be derived from the acts ai«d conduct of the accused, and that the question was, what conclusion would be drawn by any reasonable person ? Lord Coleridge had laid it down that the question in all these cases was " what was intended to be convoyed to the mind of the prosecutor by the acts, silence, or conduct of prisoner." If the idea is intended to be conveyed to his mind, and was conveyed, and if it be false, the statute is complied with. Justice Lush held that the falsity of the pretence was proved, and not if the false pretences were shown by words, it was not necessary to shew that they could only bear one meaning ; it was sufficient if they were fairly capable of bearing the meaning imputed to them in the indictment, The question was whether the prisoner had intended to convey the meaning in the letter. If so, the letter was just as much evidence of false pretences as if the very words had been in the letter. If a man ordered goods in these terms without any further explanation the letter was fairly capable of the meaning imputed in the indictment. Justice Denmau held that where a person not in a position to do what he professed to be able to do, obtained certain j^oods, he was guilty of false pretences. I<roni the beginning to the end Mr Jenkins had re garded this as a cash transaction. It would be shewn that Mrs Croker lived in Ponsonby, that she went to a shop in Parnell and purchased goods, giving an order there. After the order was given tbc tradesman had reason to reject it. He sent for Mrs Croker to give back the goods, but she refused. A person in Court : I have the order in my pocket, your Worship. Mr Hesketh continued: It would be shewn that the prisoner went from Mr Jenkins to Mr Tait, and from Mr Tait to Mr Angus, and gave similar orders ; and that, previous to this, she had given similar orders, on which payment was refused. The prosecution would shew that prisoner gave ah order which she repre sented to be a good equivalent for cash, and the Bench would be asked to say whether there was any ground to support the charge in the indictment. Sub-Inspector Pardy said the learned gentleman was incorrect in stating that the police had assisted tradesmen in recovering their goods from Mrs Croker; but Mr Hesketh was correct in saying that Mrs Croker had given up goods where trades men had threatened to communicate with the police. John Jenkins, diaper, of Newmarket, de posed that Mrs Croker came into his shop on Saturday, May 18th in the afternoon, she was accompanied by her son, a respect able looking young man, who had a sheep do» with him. He had never seen the lady before, and took her to be a country settler. She said she wanted ajacketfor her daughter at Mrs Glover's school, he shewed her some specimens. She picked one for 12a 6d, ex claiming, " dear me, how cheap." Mr Hesketh suggested to Mr Jenkins that he need not blow his own trumpet. Mr Jenkins said he had no desire to do that, in fact, there was no necessity for it. "Witness then enumerated the several articles mentioned in the charge, and which were taken by the lady ; she also purchased a vest and trousers for her husband, and a macintosh for her son John. He made out the bill and presented it to Mrs Croker; she examined it, and appeared to be satisfied. She asked for a piece jjof paper and stamp, and wrote an order on Mr Thome, solicitor. He said " You are a perfect stranger, and this is a cash transaction." She replied, " certainly. Mr Thorne has done my busi ness for many years ;" he then took 7s odd off the account as discount, leaving the bill She asked him if he knew Mr Thorne. He replied " Yes." She continued, " Yes, he s a very nice young man, and a lawyer with a conscience." (Laughter.) As she was blotting the order, her son cried, " Mother, here's the 'bus" He popped the order under some goods for safety, and hurried out to the 'bus with the parcels, followed by Mrs Croker. On returning he proceeded to look at the order, which was addressed to Mr Thorne, to pay the amount for value re ceived out of flrst'f unds. Nothing had been said about "first funds," and he would neither have parted with his goods, nor allowed discount on such terms. On presenting the order on Monday Mr Thorne said he had no funds. Witness asked if he ever had any. He said he had not seen Mrs Croker since, nor had he .received either money'or goods.

Janet Bruce Page,* lady assistant in Mr . Jenkins' shop, gave corroborative testi mony, she being present at the time of the : transaction. ! At this stage of the proceedings the | further heaving of the case was adjourned j until Monday. On the application of Mr Tyler, the defendant was admitted to bail; her hus band in £100, and two sureties in £50 each. The Court then rose.
