Further details ‘of the evidence heard by Acting Magistrate Stewart in the charge against Charles Stav- ert, Summerside, for alleged misap- propriation of‘ the amount of 81.300 on which charge defendant was re- manded to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, are as follows: '

The complainant, B. I. Rayner,

proved payment to accused of $1,- 300, in the following amountsr $300 for which receipt was given, and a cheque for $1,000 marked “advances for furs." The complainant is own- er of Rayner Fur Sales, Montreal, to which firm defendant was to ship the furs which he obtained, such furs to be sold at their auc- tion sales. Defendant is alleged to have been given a commission for all such business. Where necessary he was to make advances from the funds given him to parties who consigned through him furs to Rayner Fur Sales. No furs, it is claimed, were evcr shipped by defendant to com- plainant's company during the past winter. When demand was made for the return of the $1,300, defend- ant stated he had retained the money to repay to himself a debt of E. H. Rayner amounting to $500 and had used the balance to settle with parties who had shipped furs through him during the winter of 1930-1931, which had not been pro- perly accounted for to such ship- pers.

Evidence of the accounts it of the Royal Bank at mmerside was taken to show a. further payment to defendant in 1931 of $1,200 to be used ae advances for purchase and shipment of furs.

The manager of the Canadian National Telegraphers at Summer- side gave evidence of certain tele- grams between defendant and Ray- ner Fur Sales and E. H. Rayner, relative to the advances made. The teller of the Canadian Bank of Commerce gave evidence of the cashing of the $1.000 cheque and payment to defendant which amount was charged by the bank
