“AN UNUSUAL COURSE.”
NON-PUBLICATION OF A NAME. ChrMfehureh, August 30. “On the grounds that due publicity will he given to the case when it is tried, publication of accused’s name is prohibited under section 9 of the Offenders’ Probation Act.” This was the decision of two justices of the peace in cases in which an official, recently employed by a Government department in Christchurch was charged on three accounts, with having forged treasury voucher receipts for £7, £7, and £8 15s respectively. Mr R. A. Cuthbert (for accused) in seeking a remand, said he asked the bench to take an unusual course under section 9 of the Offenders’ Probation Act, and he asked for the non-publication of accused’s name. The reason for the application was that accused’s father had had a serious operation and the knowledge that a charge was hanging over the head of his son would be a great shock to him. The old man was, said counsel, recovering rapidly. A remand was granted.
