LARCENY.
William Henry Richardson [aka William Stuart Crossley] was arraigned on an indictment charging him with having, on the 27th March, stolen 12 pairs of socks, the property of David Jones and Co. The case for the Crown was that on the date in question the accused went into Messrs Jones’‘s shop, and after being there some little time he was seen to take the socks up and walk away, and he was thereupon given into custody. The defence was that the socks were picked up from the counter, preparatory to the accused purchasing them, and that he merely took them outside in order to have a better look at them. The jury brought back a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was remanded for sentence.

NARANDERA QUARTER SESSIONS.
———◦———
Wednesday, July 4th, 1906.
(Before His Honor Mr Acting-Judge
Dawson.)
The Quarter Sessions opened on Wednesday morning at the Courthouse.
Mr F Merewether appeared as Crown Prosecutor, and the bar was represented by the local attorneys, Messrs JJ Quirk, ECH Matthews, and GH Rogers.
…
AN OLD OFFENDER.
William Stuart Crossly [sic] was charged that on 15 January, 1906, at Wagga, he did forge an authority for the deliverance of goods; and further that on the date aforesaid, the accused did utter such forged order for the purpose of obtaining delivery of certain goods.
Mr Merewether appeared for the Crown; and the accused, who pleaded not guilty, conducted his own defence.
Senior Sergeant Anderson, of Wagga, stated that in January he received a communication from Mr Wensch, of D[avid] Copland and Co, Wagga. He afterwards saw accused at the gaol. Told him he was charged with forging the name of Hugh Andrew to an order, and uttering the same to Copland and Co. Accused looked at the order (produced) and admitted having written it; and that he had no authority to draw such an order. Drew accused’s attention to the signature, and accused said he meant the signature for that of Hugh Andrew. Accused also said he had ordered groceries on the order. Witness had seen accused four or five days before the occurrence, and at no time was he too drunk to know what he was doing.
To Accused: The gaoler may have been present at the conversation in regard to the order.
George Wensch, accountant for D Copland and Co, stated that an order was presented to an employee of the firm and passed into witness. Knowing the signature was not Mr Andrew’s, witness interviewed the accused; who declared that the order was genuine, and had been given to him by Mr Hugh Andrew at his office. Accused then dictated a list of goods, which he required to be despatched to Grong Grong. Witness communicated with Mr Andrew, and in consequence of a telegram from him, spoke to Sergeant Anderson. The order had been sent to Mr Andrew for confirmation, and witness next saw it in the Police Court. Accused said he was a cook at Berrembed. [sic–Berembed]
To Accused: The order was for sugar, potatoes, tea, onions, vinegar and tobacco, in large quantities. You appeared to be in your sound senses, and gave particulars of the quality of goods desired. Thought the transaction was peculiar throughout.
Hugh Andrew, station owner, Berrembed, said he first knew accused last September, when he was wool-rolling or piece-picking at his woolshed. Accused was not cook, and had never had authority to order goods. The signature on the order produced was a little like his, but not much.
To Accused: Remembered accused calling at the station in January. From his condition he believed he must have been having a bit of a booze.
To His Honor: Accused was not a regular employee, last September was the first time he recollected accused being at the station.
Mr Merewether produced the police court depositions, at which the accused made no answer to the charge against him.
The accused addressed the jury, stating that he was the victim of circumstances over which he had no control. He asked the jury to believe that he had no fraudulent intent when he drew the order; but that he was temporarily insane from the effects of drink, and was not responsible for his actions. He had been in Narandera on a spree during the holidays, and was feeling the effects on his arrival in Wagga; in fact was almost in the horrors. He denied the statements of the police, whose only object, he said, was to secure a conviction. He pointed out that the goods would have been of no benefit to him. As regarded his mental condition, he said he had been found wandering at large at midnight in Wagga. He had sent work to Coplands not to forward the goods ordered.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty on both counts, and suggested leniency in the sentence, as they were of opinion that the accused was not in full possession of his facilities.
A long list of previous convictions was read, showing that the accused had served numerous sentences for larceny, receiving, and other offences; and Sergeant Anderson stated that on the occasions the accused was arrested for “wandering at large” he had just broached a case of cordials, four bottles of which were found on accused at the time of his arrest. Accused had also given other fictitious orders in Wagga on the date of this offence.
The accused asked to be leniently dealt with, as he was getting an old man, being 54 years of age. If let off he would promise to never again stand in the same position.
His Honor said the accused was liable to 10 years penal servitude. It was evident from the records that he was an old offender, and one who might well be brought under the Habitual Criminals Act . He sentenced accused to three years hard labor in Bathurst gaol.
The Court then adjourned sine die.

The second quarterly sitting of the above court was held Wednesday before His Honor Judge Dawson. Mr TH Elwin sat as Deputy Sheriff, and the legal profession was represented by Mr Merewether (crown Prosecutor) and Messrs Quirk, Matthews, and Rogers. The list was a very light one, and the business was completed in about two hours.
…
FORGERY AND UTTERING.
WS Crossley was charged with forging a document at Wagga on 15th January for the purpose of fraud. He was also charged on a second count with uttering the said document.
Accused was undefended and pleaded not guilty.
Senr-Sergeant Anderson, of Wagga, stated that in January last he was shown a certain document by Mr G Wunch, of Copland and Co. He saw accused in April, and showing him the document told him he was charged with forging the name of Hugh Andrew, of Berembed, and uttering the same to D Copland and Co, with intent to defraud. Accused admitted that he wrote it without Mr Andrew’s knowledge or authority, intending the signature to represent that of Hugh Andrew; accused was not much the worse of drink when he saw him in January.
Geo Wunch, accountant for D Copland and Co, stated that accused presented order (produced) purporting to be signed by Hugh Andrew. Witness remaked [sic] that he thought the signature was not that of Hugh Andrew, when accused said it was—that Mr Andrew wrote it in his office and gave it to him. Accused asked that the goods should be sent to Grong Grong railway station, where he would take delivery of them. Witness communicated with Mr Andrew and got a reply, and he did not see accused again till at the police court. The goods were not sent as directed. Accused said he was cook at Berembed.
Hugh Andrew, of Berembed, stated that accused was working on the station last August. He did not write the order, produced; the signature was something like his.
For the defence accused made a statement from the dock to the effect that he had been a victim of circumstances, and had no intent to defraud. At the time he gave the order he was not responsible for his actions, having been drinking and bordering on the horrors. The goods were no good to him, and had they been sent to the railway station he could not have obtained possession of them. He pleaded for leniency and asked for another chance.
His Honor summed up, setting out the simple points of the case. There was no doubt accused had forged the order and uttered it, but it was for the jury to say whether he had uttered it with intent to defraud.
The jury retired, and after a brief deliberation returned into court with a verdict of guilty on both counts, and recommending accused to leniency.
A number of previous convictions were recorded against accused, and he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment with hard labor.
The court adjourned sin die.

SUPREME COURT—CRIMINAL
SITTINGS.
Tuesday, August 2.
(Before his Honor Mr Justice Gordon
and Juries.)
…
AN HABITUAL CRIMINAL.
William Stuart Crossley pleaded not guilty to a charge of having feloniously drawn a cheque on the Bank of New South Wales, Port Adelaide, for the sum of £5 on July 9.
Mary Hamer, general dealer, said that in June the accused entered her shop at Port Adelaide and said he wanted employment as a drover. He said he was in receipt of a pension from England and was willing to work for 5/- per week, provided he was given his food. On July 9, at his request, she gave him a Bank of New South Wales form. When he signed the cheque, “R Hunter,” she said, “Your name is Crossley; that will not suit me. I am sure this is a forgery.” He told her she knew nothing about it. The signature was that of his brother-in-law. The accused went to the bank, but returned shortly afterwards, saying he was too late, and that the teller had told him Mrs Hamer had better pay it in on the following Monday.
To Mr Benny—On the following Monday she presented the cheque, but it was returned marked “No account.” The accused endorsed the cheque.
Reginald Sabine, bank clerk, said the accused went to the bank at Port Adelaide and stated that he wished to buy a bank form. He said he had an account with the bank in New Zealand. As the witness was doubtful if the accused was a customer he refused to sell the form. Crossley came subsequently and presented the cheque (produced). When told that “R Hunter” had no account at the bank the accused replied that he thought there was such an account there.
In his statement to the court, the accused said he had no intention to defraud. He had received no money through the medium of the cheque. He had written to R Hunter for money, and when the cheque was drawn he did think the money was available.
After a short retirement the jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Crossley admitted having been sentenced to terms of one month, 18 months, and three years’ imprisonment in New South Wales.
His Honor said that according to the record the accused had been convicted in New South Wales on 24 occasions for stealing and twice in Victoria. On the present charge he would be sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, and would be declared an habitual criminal.
