Stout, S.M., until to-morrow to enable further information to be obtained. Accused pleaded guilty to the charge, but not guilty to the theft of an ovorcoat valued at £1 10s, the property of someone unknown.
Senior-Detective Quirke said that accused was a canvasser and had been in Palmerston North for some five or six weeks. When arrested on the first charge he was found to be in possession of the overcoat, but would not say, how he obtained it. Detective Barling added that accused had told him that he had bought the overcoat, but later had said he had taken it without authority. Subsequently, accused had said that a man named Thomas had given the coat to him.
Accused: The coat belongs to the manager of an hotol and I had the loan of it. I didn’t say so before because I did not want his name to be brought into tho matter. The Magistrate observed that the police would have to investigate the defence and made the remand as stated.
