Goodman had pleaded guilty to the charges on Thursday and admitted that he had obtained a total of $5.980 from various people while posing as a Police, a Revenue and a Public Works Department inspector.

Chief Inspector J. Hidden. who prosecuted, revealed that Goodman's offences dated back to 1930. He added, however, that Goodman had been very co-operative with

the Police following his arrest.

In mitigation, Goodman said that as soon as he was arrested he admitted the offences and gave every asyls. tance to the Police,

He declared he had no means of maintaining himself and because of his age he was unable to find employment with his previous record.

Goodman pleaded to be given work to do and said he would be willing to join any ship in any capacity what
