Theft Charges.
Six of the men previously charged with theft of various sums of money, the property of the Army Department, appeared in the Magistrates’ Court, Dunedin, yesterday. Donald Stewart Mac Lean (£7O), Eric Rowly Jory (£l3l 19s 8d) and John Gerard Farmer (£96 ss), all pleaded guilty and were committed for sentence. It transpired in evidence that the men signed fictitious names for monies on the acquittance rolls in connection with medical boarding or in other cases signed their own names when not entitled to. Evidence similar to that heard in the previous cases was given in the charge against Percy Lawrence Lawson, who was alleged to have signed for three amounts. Dawson and Rivers pleaded not guilty and were committed for trial, bail being allowed as in the other cases. The hearing of the case against’ Alexander Reid Young was unfinished when the Court rose for the day.
