In addition, the accused on the following day, uttered to the VC another cheque to the effect of $70,519, under the pretense that he was in the position to grant same. Moreover, Williams on another occasion with intent to defraud allegedly presented a $1,500 cheque to the VC, being aware that he did not have sufficient funds to satisfy the said amount.
The unrepresented man denied the charges read to him by the Magistrate.
