ABSTRACT

Statement 1: William I share a flat with Andrew and Mary. I came home on Saturday afternoon and Mary asked me if she could borrow £20 because she wanted to buy a skirt. I didn’t want to go out and get her money from the cash machine so I said No. She asked me if I thought Andrew would mind if she borrowed the £20 note in his emergency funds jar. Andrew was away. I said I couldn’t speak for him. I didn’t know. He is generous but can be difficult about his personal stuff. He wouldn’t lend me his football shirt the other week. It just did not seem a good idea and I told her so. Mary said she was sure Andrew wouldn’t mind her taking it. I saw her go into his room and she came out with the jar. She took out the £20 note which was all that was in it, and left a note in the jar saying she would pay it back Monday.
