Mr Brown-Constable accepted that cheque at the time although he subsequently demanded that i should pay the money by bank transfer, because his bank allegedly ---i did not believe him - could not read my writing on the cheque. i have kept the cheque and one can see that the writing on it is no different from any other cheques i write.” Just how much can one rely on Mrs hillagarth’s memory of events?
