Brown, QC, who appeared for Cassidy, told court his client had lived in remote and lonely places of .the north |for many years and was never in any trouble before. “Although my client knew he was doing something irregular, he has undertaken to repay the money, He has more than learn- ed his lesson.” Crown Prosecutor Gilbert Hogg Said he was in accord with Mr. Brown's Wish to sustain passing of sentence and Mr. Justice Whittaker acceded, The case followed completion of all criminal cases at this as- size, Cassidy admitted cashing two government cheques totalling $317.80 after forging the signa- | ture “And there just aren't enough friends to go around who will lend out their boats.” The saimon derby, however, will still be operated on the original rules.
