A Mr. Nicholas Claus who goes by the alias Christopher Cringle has this week been acquitted in his trial for multiple offences of breaking and entering. His Modus Operandi, it was alleged, included shimmying down chimneys and coming in through the front door using keys that people had left out. He was caught with a large sack full of wrapped gifts, but following an excellent closing speech, the jury acquitted within half an hour. Excellent work all, back to work now for Mr. Claus.
