INNOCENT MAN’S ORDEAL.
Remarkablo revelations of an innocent man’s arrest in live countries and his imprisonment for more than throe years while fighting tho case brought against him were made at Bow Street Police Court when Reginald Lcylnnd Honey, a company director of Wavoley Road Streatham Hill, S.W., was charged on remand with obtaining credit to tho extent of £IOO without disclosing the fact that he was an undischurg ed bankrupt. Heney, who was defended by Hr Edmond O’Connor, giving evidence, mentioned that when travelling in Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Franco, he gave cheques and was arrested in each country because the cheques were not met. He spent more than three years in prison lighting over these cheques, and was eventually acquitted in each country. What happened was that his personal bank ing accounts in Paris had been garnished for another man’s debts, everyone of his cheques being returned unpaid because of this garnishee order. MiFry, the magistrate dismissed the charge.
