Detective-Sergeant Jarrold said that in. 1921 the defendant was a single woman employed by a Mrs. Campbell, at Hector, on the West Coast. On 6th August, 1921, she went to a store in "Westport and obtained boots, shoes, and slippers by representing that, Mrs. Campbell had given her authority to procure the goods. No such authority had been given. The defendant disappeared, and nothing more was seen of her until she appeared before the Court recently, and it was found that there was a warrant out for her arrest.
