(My Telegraph—press Association).
CHRISTCHURCH, November 27
Early in November, Arthur John Joseph Rogers, twenty-five, employed as clerk and labourer, decided to get married. He hit on a scheme of raising the cash and procuring goods by false pretences, to lessen the expense. Things worked out according to plan. He was. duly married and went off to the AYest Coast on a honeymoon tour. AVhen he arrived back, however, he found a policeman waiting for him and in the Alagistrate’s Court this morning, Rogers was convicted on three charges and .sentenced to six months hard labour by Air Mosley S.AI.
Chief Detective Carroll said Rogers was married on November 4th and charges arose out of bis preparations for bridal cars and the wedding feast. He went to Gold Band taxis, and engaged two cars tendering in payment a cheque for £9 10s signed in the name of AV. T. Rogers, and received £4 14s 6d change. The cars attended the wedding but the cheque was found to be no good.
