SOLICITOR IN TROUBLE
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 11. Lionel Lancelot Hutchings, aged 34, a solicitor, pleaded guilty to charges of failing to account for moneys amounting to £l5, received on behalf of a firm of solicitors by whom he was employed. He said he had been in financial difficulty and he was pressed by creditors. He was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence. The Magistrate, in fixing bail, said he must make it substantial, as the offence was much more serious than if committed by a layman. Hutchings was a solicitor of the Supreme Court and had betrayed his trust. Bail was allowed £5OO and two sureties of £250.
