FALSE PRETENCES.
MOTOR CAR OBTAINED. NO INTENTION TO DEFRAUD. (By Telegraps—Press . Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. In the Magistrate’s Court, Thomas Henry Barry pleaded guilty to obtaining from Ernest Anthony, a motor oar valued at £-40 by false pretence. The purchase was made at Greymouth, and when arrested at Wellington, Barry said he intended to sell the car the day he bought it for £6O. He had been round about Greymouth for twe rr onths drinking, and had then stowed away to Wellington. Speaking from the dock Barry said he realised that he was technically guilty, but he had no intention of defrauding the owner of the car. Had he not had van accident with it he would have sold it and opened an account at the bank, where his postdated cheque would have been met. Mr Page, S.M., said he would take time to consider the case and remand Barry.
