A COTTON FRAUD.
“FINANCIAL PICKPOCKETS.” LARGE SUM RECOVERED. By Telegraph.—Presa Assn—Copyright Received Feb/25, 55 p.m. London, Feb. 24. George Marple, of Sheffield, was awarded £ 12500 owing to fradulent representations by E. T. Hooley in connection with the Bale of the Jubilee cotton mill during the recent boom. Mr. Justice Russell, in a scathing judgment, described Hooley and bis associates as financial pickpockets of the worst kind, and ordered that the document be impounded to enable the authorities to determine whether it was possible to punish them. The evidence showed that Hooley and h's co-directors arranged that a fictions dividend of thirty-three per cent be paid put of the capital in order to foist Jubi’ee shares upon an unsuspecting public. -Aiifi.-N.Z.
