DEBTOR ON PROBATION
OBTAINED CREDIT WHEN INSOLVENT “MONEY NOT SQUANDERED” * Judged by Mr. F. K, Hunt, S.M.„ to be guilty practically of obtaining credit by false pretences, a young bankrupt was allowed probation in the Police Court this morning. THE bankrupt, George Fenton Williams, appeared on remand on a charge of failing to keep proper books and three charges of incurring debts while he was insolvent. Mr. Hunt said that, having considered the circumstances of Williams’s case, he would admit the accused to probation for three years. Williams would, however, bo required to pay £SO to his creditors and would have to pay expenses. “This young man has been guilty, practically, of obtaining credit by false pretences,” the magistrate said. “Generally, it is our duty to protect the public from such actions, but I find, from my report, that Williams is a young man who has not squandered his creditors’ money in fast living. He has been a steady worker.” Mr. Hunt considered the order made on Williams would meet the ends of justice.
