MOTOR CUSTOMS FRAUD.
♦ ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT. • (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright [United Press Association.] (Received 11.20 a.m.) London, January 12. In the motor customs case, Shortland, re-examined, admitted that clerical errors occurred in fifteen invoices between September and December, 1909, wherein the net price of tyres was treated as gross. . Air Bodkin, K.C., objected to the admission of these invoices.
Counsel for the prosecution contended that defendants must have known the invoices were wrong. The prosecution did not accept the statement that the mistakes were clerical, and pointed out that defendant returned a hatch of invoices to Shorthand requesting that they ho corrected in accordance with the arrangement made with Shortland.
The Alagistratc upheld Mr Bodkin’s objection. The case was adjourned.
