ARMIDALE QUARTER SESSIONS.
———◦———

    The Armidale Quarter Sessions opened on Tuesday morning, before his Honor Judge Hamilton. Mr G Atkin was Deputy Sheriff, Mr RJ Browning, Crown Prosecutor, Mr EM Cohen, Deputy-Clerk of the Peace, Mr LB Lane, Sheriff’s Officer.

    Mr Clifford, governor of Armidale gaol, was present in his official capacity. Mr Willard, general secretary of the Prison Aid Association of New South Wales was also in attendance.
…

ALLEGED FORGERY AND
UTTERING.

    Frederick McIntosh [aka Stanley Greville] was arraigned on a charge that on 25th November, 1913, at Uralla, he did forge a certain warrant or order for the payment of £16/6, with intent to defraud; and, on a second charge that on the day and year aforesaid, he did utter, forge, put off, and dispose of the same, well knowing it to be a forgery.

    Accused pleaded not guilty. He cashed the cheque not knowing it to be forged.

    His Honor said he regretted a man of accused’s ability to express himself should be in such a position. The previous convictions had failed to impress accused, so that it was no use making any appeal to him. If for not other reason, he hoped that accused would find his conduct would not pay. Society could not be preyed upon by men of accused’s stamp. He would be sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, with hard labor, in Parramatta Gaol.

    Accused (with a start): Two years, your Honor!

    His Honor: Yes two years.

    His Honor made an order for the return of the goods, and the balance of the cheque to Mr Sutcliffe. He made no order at present concerning the rest of the money.

    Accused asked if his Honor would grant leave to petition for release after serving some of the sentence.

    His Honor: I do hope the press will take notice that I never do that. It is the right of every prisoner, not only to appeal, but to petition the Crown, whenever he likes. It is one of the rights granted every British subject for ages long past and still exists.—(Armidale “Chronicle.”)

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.
(Before Mr Justice Pring.)

…

REX v FREDERICK McINTOSH.

    Prisoner was convicted in May last at Darlinghurst Quarter Sessions, before Judge Docker and a jury, on a charge of stealing, and was sentenced to three years’ penal servitude. He now asked for leave to appeal.

    His Honor said prisoner seemed to be one of those clever rascals who preyed upon drunken men. In the present case the prosecutor had given him a watch and chain and purse to take care of, and when, subsequently, he asked for the purse back prisoner assaulted him, and afterwards ran away. There were other previous convictions against him, and he could not have been long out of gaol when the present offence was committed. He did not think the sentence passed was excessive, and he refused leave.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
————
“ONE OF THE MOST IMPUDENT ATTEMPTS.”
————

Sydney, Friday.

    The Full Court of Criminal Appeals refused an application by Frederick McIntosh for leave to appeal against his conviction of three years’ penal servitude on a charge of theft.

    The Chief Justice said the application was one of the most impudent attempts to brazen out a defence that had ever been before the court.

    The case was one in which a man who had enlisted in the expeditionary forces was charged with robbery.

Stanley Greville and Kenneth Daniel Varney Jones, 1920

Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners’ Advocate, Fri 2 Jul 1920 ⁷

NEWCASTLE POLICE COURT.
——–▴—•—▴——–
Thursday, July 1.
(Before Mr W Le Brun Brown, SM.)

…

COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.

    Stanley Greville (40), labourer, was charged with attempting a serious offence at Merewether on June 26. Kenneth Daniel Varney Jones (20) a seaman of HMAS Brisbane, was charged with a similar offence at the same time and place. Both men were committed for trial at the Newcastle Quarter Sessions on August 31. Greville was allowed bail in sureties of £150, and Jones granted bail in sureties of £100.

DISCHARGED.

    Stanley Greville (40), labourer, was charged with stealing 18s 4d, at Merewether, on June 26, the property of Kenneth Daniel Varney Jones. Inspector Hood prosecuted. Jones said that with Greville he went to the Terminus Hotel at Merewether. He had given five shillings to Greville. He did not remember shouting in the bar of the hotel. John Rodgers, licensee of the hotel, said that drinks were called for, and a £1 note was placed on the counter. He got 18s 4d change, and asked whose money it was. Greville said that it was his. Witness did not see who put the £1 on the counter. Greville put the money in his pocket. A Lovell said that he was in company with Jones and Greville in the bar of the Terminus Hotel at the Glebe. Jones paid for the first lot of drinks in silver, and for the second lot put down a £1 note. Witness did not see the change put on the counter or know what became of the change. The case was dismissed.

NEWCASTLE QUARTER SESSIONS.

Wednesday, September 1.

(Before his Honor Acting Judge Mocatta, Mr AF Dawson, Crown Prosecutor.)

…
    An indictment of two counts alleging an attempted commission of the same crime [a serious offence] as in the previous case, was also preferred against Stanley Greville and Kenneth Daniel Varney Jones, both of whom pleaded not guilty. Mr JJ Watkins appeared for Greville and Mr TA Braye for Jones. Evidence of arrest was given by Sergeant Wray, Merewether, and Constable Corner. Arthur Lovell, boilermaker, and formerly a petty officer in the Navy, stated that on June 26, the date of the alleged offence, he was drinking with the two accused at the Terminus Hotel, Glebe. When he saw Jones in an out-building he was in a kind of stupor, and it seemed to witness he had been drugged. Later witness had to assist Jones back to his ship. Arthur Daniel Morton, storekeeper, gave evidence in accordance with that of Lovell, and added that Jones gave him the impression of having been doped. At the close of Mr Watkins’ cross-examination of the witness the accused, Greville, called his barrister to the dock, and after a conversation, Mr Watkins resumed his seat. Thereupon Greville said to His Honor: “I want to ask the witness a question.”

His Honor: “Your defence is in the hands of your counsel.”

Greville: “It is a material piece of evidence, your Honor, and my counsel refuses to ask the question.”

His Honor: “Your defence is in the hands of your counsel; the two of you cannot conduct the case. If you want —–”

Greville: I want to proceed on my own. I am dissatisfied with my barrister.”

Mr Watkins (hesitatingly): Of course, your Honor, I wanted to assist the Court as much as I did the accused.” His Honor: “I am sure you do, Mr Watkins.” To Greville, his Honor said it was a grossly offensive thing to say to counsel that he was dissatisfied with him.

Greville: “Very well, your Honor, he can proceed.” After hearing the evidence of John Rodgers, licensee of the Terminus Hotel, the jury consulted and returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of Jones, who was accordingly discharged. The other accused, Greville, a shearer, denied having committed the offence. In answer to Mr Dawson, accused said he had twenty-two convictions against him, and that he was known by a number of names. After deliberating for twenty minutes the jury returned with a verdict of guilty of improper assault, and Greville was remanded until today for sentence.

SENTENCES.

…
    Stanley Greville, who was convicted on a charge of committing an improper assault at Glebe on June 26, was dealt with. The gaoler read a list of twenty-two convictions for offences committed in New Zealand and New South Wales, dating back to 1903. The greater proportion of them were for stealing, and the most serious charge was one of forging and uttering. His Honor described the record as “appalling,” but stated he would take into consideration that the previous offences were not influenced by the same condition of mind as was the last crime. The sentence was one of twelve months’ imprisonment.

Accused: Will you give me leave to appeal.

His Honor: You can appeal without leave from me.

Accused: It would carry a great deal more weight if you gave me leave.

His Honor: If your application comes before me I will take my own course.

Accused: Very well, I give notice of appeal.
