Crompton's idea was to sell the watch and take back the £2 and redeem the cheque, which he would return to 'Kennedy. Kennedy found that the watch was only worth £3, so he pawned it again for Crompton, who was to pay back the £2 on the first cheque and bring it back to Kennedy. He did not do this because, he explain- ed, he had not the £, and sug- gested he should be given another cheque to take to his father on which to get sufficient to redeem the first cheque, and that his father would held the second cheque"until the following week when, Crompton eid, he expected £17 from a busi- ness deal, and this would put things right Kennedy gave a 30- cond cheque, but the money got on this was spent. Crompton then said if he got another cheque he would get sufficient to redeem the two old cheques, then redeem the third with the £17.
