A Salesman at Dimboola Trial at Horsham

At Horsham General Sessions Judge Dethridge presided over the trial of Charles Ernest Lesius Lawson charged with four counts of fraudulent embezzlement from Gippsland and Northern Co operative Co. He pleaded not guilty. The court heard Lawson, a Velie car salesman, used payees’ cheques payable to him personally to divert funds from the company. Witnesses described vehicles sold and commissions claimed, while Lawson was found with substantial cash when arrested. The case revealed complex dealings in Velie car sales and agency arrangements.
