The defendant as the agent for the proprietor of a newspaper took delivery of the papers for sale at three farthings per paper, the arrangement being that he was to be allowed three farthings per paper for all papers returned by him which had been so delivered to him the previous week, and which were unsold. The defendant bought papers at so much per hundredweight from other persons and included such papers in his return to the proprietor as being papers delivered to him during the previous week and which had been unsold, and obtained the allowance of three farthings for the same. An information was laid against the defendant under sec 41 (iii.) of the Police Offences Act 1890, charging him with imposing upon a person by fraudulent representation with a view to obtaining money. He was convicted by the justices.
