NAME SUPPRESSED.
STATE OFFICIAL CHARGED WITH FORGERY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, August 30. “On the grounds that due publicity will be given to the case when it is tried, publication of the accused’s name is prohibited under section 9 of the Offenders Probation Act.” This was the decision of two Justices of the Peace in cases in which an official recently employed by a Government department in Christchurch was charged < n three counts with having forged Treasury voucher receipts for £7, £7, and £8 15s respectively. Mr. R. A. Cuthbert (counsel for the accused), in seeking a remand, said that he asked the Bench to take an unusual course. Under section 9 of the Offenders’ Probation Act. he asked for non-publication of accused’s name. The reason for the application was that accused’s father had had a serious operation, and knowledge that such a charge was hanging over the head of his son would be a great shock to him. The old man was recovering rapidly. The remand was granted.
