Enquiries made at Dannevirke elicited the fact that there was no such firm as" "Hill and Co." at Dannevirke, but a Mr Hill was found who said that the order "was not his, and he did not know the accused." Constable Townsend stated that when arrested accused said his name was Groves and not Williams. Accused pleaded guilty, and was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence.
