TAILOR IN DOCK
The trial of Norris Charles Avery, tailor, aged 51, on a charge of receiving a cloth-cutting machine, valued at £loa, from William Gilbertson McQuarrie, knowing it to have been dishonestly obtained, began in the Supreme Court, Wellington, yesterday. It will be continued this morning. , The Crown Prosecutor, Mr. W. H. Cunningham, said accused was a friend of McQuarrie, a ship’s carpenter. A consignment of the machines came from New York to a Wellington firm, arriving in April, but instead of there being 22 cases, each with one machine, there were only 21 cases. One machine with spare parts was missing. McQuarrie had admitted taking the machine from the ship, and said he arranged for accused to sell it. Accused sold it, telling the purchaser he was disposing of it for somebody in Auckland who was giving up business When the police traced the machine and interviewed accused he admitted the man in Auckland was an invention. Called by the Crown, McQuarrie was giving evidence when the Court adjourned. Accused is represented by Mr. D. Perry.
