forms at top law firm Appleby, Spurling and Kempe when she appeared in Supreme Court this week.

Marilyn Anne Dill, 39, of Pembroke, admitted six offences involving forgery, passing false cheques and theft during the monthly arraignments session.

Her lawyer, Mr. Archie Warner, asked for a social inquiry report on the grounds that the reasons for the offences were connected to her "personal circumstance''.

He said she was non-Bermudian and had lived on the Island some time. "She has been married to a Bermudian formerly, and that touches on this case,'' he said.

Chief Justice the Hon. Mr. Justice Ward remanded her in custody until June 6.

In other cases, Lindell Charmee Williams admitted 20 exchange control offences involving about $40,000.

The charges involved making false statements and failing to surrender the cash.

After hearing the offences were committed when she was 17, the Chief Justice granted a social inquiry report.

The case was adjourned until June 6. She is on bail, represented by Mr. Rod Attride-Stirling.

Calvin Sinclair Edwards admitted 48 exchange control offences, again involving false statements and failing to surrender foreign cash.

His case was also adjourned to June 6. He is on bail, represented by Mr.

Warner.

Roger Sinclair Wainwright, who has denied 16 exchange control charges, had his case adjourned until June 7. He is on bail, represented by Mr. Hector.

Earlston Eugene Phipps, who has denied 18 exchange control charges, was not represented. He had his case adjourned until Thursday. He is on bail.
