COMMERCIAL FRAUD
SWINDLER SENT TO GAOL. “I regard this as the gravest case of commercial fraud I have tried,” remarked the Recorder at Manchester City Sessions, when Ronald Harold Ernest Dadswell, aged 34, grocer, of St. Annes, pleaded guilty to charges of false pretences, fraud and bankruptcy. Passing sentence of two years’ hard labour, the Recorder remarked that he was going to see that for the longest possible period within his power. Dadswell was not at liberty to swindle. It was alleged that Dadswell had been adjudged bankrupt five times and had absconded owipg large sums of money. He had traded under the style of the Economy Stores in Manchester and had defrauded his creditors to a total of more than £4OOO. For the defence it was stated that Dadswell had no sense of commercial values and had always been foolishly optimistic.
