Court case
Argus, 29 January 1869:
In the City Court yesterday a man, giving the name of John B. Paynter, who was said to be a solicitor, at Ballarat, was charged, upon remand fromthat place, with obtaining money by means of a valueless cheque from Henry Taylor, landlord of the Waterloo Hotel, Little Collins-street. Prisonerwas arrested, on warrant, granted upon the usual sworn information, and charged in the usual way. He had come down here in November last, performedthat disreputable feat of "going on the spree," and, while the fit lasted, passed a cheque to prosecutor for 50s., drawn upon the National Bank atBuninyong. When forwarded, the paper was returned, marked "No account," and subsequent inquiry proved that there never had been any account keptthere by prisoner, who has the appearance of a man keeping a much more regular account at a "public" than at a bank. When the case was called on,the magistrates were informed that prosecutor did not wish to press the charge, as an arrangement had been made by which the amount should beregarded as a debt, payment of which had been assured. This arrangement was permitted to take effect, and prisoner, who seemed to enjoy the thinggreatly as a good joke, left the court without having been charged.
