A GOOD MEMORY
DEFENDANT’S 62 CHARGES “No thank you, sir; I have memorised them.” said Christian John Taylor, aged 56. in the Police Court this morning, when he was asked if he wanted the charges read out to him. As there were 62 of them, all except one—false pretences—for theft of various sums of money totalling £242 16s 9d, his memory must be good. The accused was employed by a Printing firm as a canvasser on a 15 Per cent commission basis. ChiefDetective Cummings explained, and had stolen the money during the four months from November to March, Also, he had made out that he had signed up advertising contracts for the firm, amounting to £l2l, and had drawn £22 10s commission. "I don’t think I can deal with him,’ said Mr. McKean. S.M. “It would take some time to hear the evidence.”
He remanded Taylor till to-morrow morning.
