Goulburn Herald & Chronicle
9 Jan 1875
Forgery at Binda: Mary Supple was charged with having, on the 14th October, at Binda, forged a certain order or warrant for £9 17s with the intent to defraud. A second count charged prisoner with uttering the same, well knowing it to be a forgery. Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and was defended by Mr. Gannon.
The Crown-Prosecutor having briefly opened his case called Senior-constable Kennedy, stationed at Binda, who deposed: I arrested prisoner on the 29th of October last in virtue of a warrant; she said she never presented or cashed a cheque at Mrs. Quince's for that amount, £9 17s, that she cashed one with Mrs. Quince for £3 17s, which she received from Mr. Blay in part change for a £12 cheque - that the cheque had never been out of her possession from the time she received it from Mr. Blay until cashed for her by Mrs. Quince; the cheque produced is the same I received from Mr. George King, son-in-law of Mrs. Quince. The cheque had originally been drawn for £3 17s, altered in words to nine pounds seventeen shillings, and in figures to £90 17s.)
To Mr. Gannon: Mrs. Quince is wife of John Quince, who is insolvent; his things have been sold off; the affair of the cheque was after the sale; I have known prisoner for some time; I don't know if she can read or write; I think I have seen her husband write, but I can't be sure; both Quince and his son have been insolvent, and both sold off; a man named Baxter, a public school teacher at Binda, is here to-day as a witness.
To his Honor: Prisoner is a married woman; I arrested her at her husband's place; she did not exhibit any alarm when I arrested her.
To Mr. Gannon: Prisoner's place is about twenty-four miles from where she cashed the cheque.
Mary Quince, wife of Edward Quince, deposed: I was managing my son-in-law's store at Binda; prisoner came to the store and made some purchases amounting to £1 2s on October 14th, 1874; she paid me the cheque now produced; I gave her £8 15s; in cash; I remarked to her that the cheque was very dirty and ragged, and she, "supposing this cheque is not right, I shall know where to find you;" she said "O,
Yes," that it was a cheque she took that day in part change for a cheque for £12 from a Chinaman; there is no bank at Binda.
To Mr. Gannon: My son-in-law goes to labouring work; I manage the store; I and my husband live with him; he has the store about four months; my son John Quince formally kept the store, and he went insolvent; my husband also went insolvent; my son-in-law then opened the store, and my husband and I look after it; this cheque was paid in after our insolvency; I had only seen prisoner once before she presented the cheque; I recollected her as Mrs. Supple; she did not tell me she got the cheque from Mr. Blay, who got it from a Chinaman; my daughter was present; when I got the cheque (produced) it was torn as it is now, I did not notice the 0 after the 9 till the evening, and should not have noticed it then had it not been pointed out to me by Mr. Baxter; I gave the cheque with others to my husband the next morning to bring into Goulburn - about forty-five miles; I sent it away the morning after I took it; my husband did not come back for some time, and King went into Goulburn about a week after my husband left, and returned home before my husband did; I did not make inquiries after prisoner, and don't know if she was in town a couple of days; I did not go to the police though they are close by; the drawer of the cheque, Mr. Bransome, lives about nine or ten miles from us; I did not send to him about it; I sent in three or four cheques at the same time; Mr. Baxter wanted me to cash a cheque for him, and then saw the cheque in question with others; he did not point out the alteration for an hour after.
To his Honor: My husband became insolvent about the same week as the cheque was cashed; my son some little time before; I put the cheque into a pocket-book and it remained there till Mr. Baxter saw it; when he noticed the alteration in the figures he did not ask if I noticed any alteration in the body of the cheque; the cheque was in the pocket-book which was put in a till in the store and remained there till I took it out next morning; I gave the prisoner ₤8.15s in notes and cheque and half sovereigns and 5s in silver; I can’t say what notes or cheques consisted of; I never gave it a thought when I found out the alteration in the cheque to look after prisoner or Mr. Bransome; I chance the cheque being good, as I wanted money and not had much time to do anything; I did not know whether the cheque was good or bad; and thought the bank would decide.
Mary Jane Quince deposed: Prisoner came into the store and bought some goods to the amount ₤1 2s. and gave mother a cheque; mother said it looked very ragged and dirty as if it had been long time drawn, but she would know where to find her; mother gave her a cheque some notes and silver amounting to ₤8.15s; I was standing along side my mother at the counter; I don’t think there was a half sovereign amongst the change; mother remarked that the cheque was for ₤9.17s; mother had other cheque at the time; she put the cheque in a leather purse and put it in a box; Baxter saw the cheque immediately after it was cashed; he said the man that wrote the name “Bransome” did not write the body of the cheque; mother made no reply; when the cheque was produced in the evening Baxter said he was sure it was not right; and my mother said it was going to the right place to determine that; the next evening it was given to my father who stated for Goulburn.
To Mr. Gannon: The court house at Binda is about a quarter of a mile from where we live; my mother went to give evidence when prisoner was arrested; I did not, as it was 20 miles off; I had to go to court on the following Thursday; mother told me she had given her evidence; she did not tell me anything she said or had been asked; she said I had to go to court about the cheque but did not say anything more; I got home on the Monday; and Kennedy came to me on Tuesday; he asked me if I remembered what took place between Mrs. Supple and mother; he said mother had been up before the court; he did not tell me what evidence she had given; the date of the cheque is 28th August; I can read a little ( witness pointed out where the date was put; on being asked by Mr. Gannon was unable to read the contents of the cheque; if mother gave a half-sovereign in change I would not have seen it. Mrs. Supple was present when Mr. Baxter said the cheque was bad, and mother said nothing.
To his Honour: Prisoner said she got the cheque in change for a ₤12 cheque from a Chinaman.
Joseph Webster Baxter, public school-teacher at Binda; I remember meeting the prisoner at King’s store in early October; I went to get a cheque cashed; Mrs. Quince cashed it for me; after some difficulty; she gave me a purse and told me to look through the cheques; and see if any would suit me; I saw the cheque produced, but not torn as it is now; I said the cheque was to big for me, and the man who wrote the body never wrote Bransome; I asked Mrs. Supple to change my cheque, as she had just changed a large cheque; and she said no; she had changed a large cheque but wanted a smaller one; she said she had got it from a Chinaman in exchange for a larger one; it was a cheque for ₤9.17s.
To Mr. Gannon: The cheque was not shown to prisoner in my presence; I noticed after the prisoner had left Mrs. Quince that the cheque was for ₤90.17s at the foot. I can’t recollect what Mrs. Quince said in reply. I did not see Mrs. Quince prisoner pay any money; prisoner could easily be found by people in the neighborhood; I know Eldridge’s store; it is about a quarter of a mile from Quince’s. Prisoner is Eldridge’s sister.
To his Houour: I can’t say whether 0 was after the 9 when I saw the cheque.
George Blay, innkeeper and storekeeper at Binda deposed; Prisoner came to my place on the 13th October with a cheque for ₤12 and bought goods to the amount of twelve or thirteen shillings; I gave her change, and amongst other cheques the one produced, which was originally for ₤3.17s; I got it from Bransome’s son..
To Mr. Gannon: My place is about a quarter of a mile from Quince’s.
William Bransome; Deposed; I am a sheep-farmer and have an account at the Joint Stock Bank in Goulburn; I drew a cheque for £3 17s; and gave it to my son; the one produced is the same; I produce the butt of my cheque-book.
For the defence,
James Eldridge storekeeper at Binda, deposed: Prisoner is my sister, married, and living with her husband; she can't read or write; I believe her husband can't either; she was born in the neighborhood of Binda, and is well known; she has six children.
To his Honor: I never saw my brother-in-law read a book or paper, or sign his name; I have seen him take a book in his hand, but I don't think I ever saw him with on open one.
- Guiott, a Frenchman, living in the neighbourhood of Binda for twenty-seven years, deposed: I have known prisoner since a child; she has been living within four miles of me for the last two of three years; her character has always been good; I never knew anything wrong about her.
To the crown-prosecutor: She went to service at Mr. Oakes's when young; she never went to school that I know of; I don't know where she stops when in Binda; I don't know what her husband is; he is a
shepherd now; I never saw him buying things in Binda; he lives about fifteen miles from me.
Senior-constable Kennedy said he had never heard anything against the prisoner.
Mr. Gannon addressed the jury. The crown-prosecutor briefly replied, withdrawing the charge on the first count for forgery.
His honor summed up, the jury retired, and after an absence of an hour, returned into court with a verdict of guilty on the second account of uttering.
His honor then sentenced prisoner to be imprisoned in Goulburn gaol for two years.

BANCO JURY CAUSES.
(Before the Chief Justice and jury.)
ALLEGED BREACH OF PROMISE.
Supple v Geddes.
Evidence was concluded in an action in which the plaintiff, Gladys Supple, sued Harold Geddes, claiming £5000 damages for alleged breach of promise of marriage. From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared that the defendant, who possessed considerable means, conducted a butchering business in William Street In 1910, formed an acquaintance with her at that time, and remained on close terms of friendship with her until last year. She alleged that he came to live with her family, and by many acts of exceptional kindness endeared himself to her, eventually, in about 1918, offering marriage. Preparations were made for their marital life, but finally the plaintiff's attitude changed, and he denied that he was bound by any promise to her. A great deal of evidence was given during the hearing, the defendant denying that at anytime his sentiments had been any more than friendly with the plaintiff, and suggesting that her affections were throughout his acquaintance with him bestowed elsewhere.
Mr. Watt, K.C., Mr. Maxwell, and Mr. Martin(Instructed by Messrs. Baldick and Simpson) appeared for plaintiff and Mr. Windeyer, K.C., and Mr. Lionel Dare (Instructed by Messrs. John Williamson and Sons) for the defendant.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £1250.
