" The Bench wishes to make comment on the stupidity of businesspeople in taking cheques from customers whom they do not know,” said Mr. S. Abrahams, J.P., at Palmerston North, during the hearing of a charge of forgery and passing valueless cheques, which he and Mr. S. Rumble, J.P., heard in the Palmerston North Magistrate’s Court. “ This is especially foolish where purchases are for a small amount.” SeniorDetective Quirke: Some of the witnesses in this case are only shop assistants and acting under instructions from their employers. Mr Abrahams: Exactly. I am not blaming the assistants, hut the business people who allow this to go on. If they take cheques from perfect strangers, what do they expect? Dominion.
