FALSE PRETENSES.


       John Wm. RICHARDS (26), carter, no fixed abode, was before the
Whitehaven magistrates, on Monday, charged with obtaining food and lodgings by false
pretenses at Whitehaven, between the 19th and 26th of August.

       Supt. HOPE said there would be another charge preferred against the
prisoner for obtaining board and lodgings by false pretenses at Gosforth, but as
the prisoner was a comparative stranger to him as yet he asked for a remand
for a week so that he might have an opportunity for inquiring into the
prisoner's antecedents.

       A remand for a week was granted.
