On a charge of criminal negligence William McGratten was remanded until April 27 on $2.000 bail.

John Kosir, Mike Wavak and Julian Rigner, on trespass charges, were remanded to the same date on $50 bail.

Youths Admit Wholesale Thefts Pleading guilty to breaking into numerous homes and stealing cameras, jewels, coins and other goods valued in the thousands of dollars, Robert Hughes and Jack Beck, two youths, were remanded in custody until April 4 for sentence.

"We are looking for most of the stolen goods," said Detective Barber.

Accused were charged with: On March 21, broke into the home of Ben Getter. Moulton Dr., and took three gold rings, a gold brooch, earrings, a gold watch, a camera and a number of old coins; on March 16, broke into the home of George Lord.

"For the most part, they got into these houses while the owners were away," he said. and added that the boys were very truthful about the whole affair.

One of Store's "Worst Customers" Bernard Blundell forged one cheque for $4 on the Bank of Montreal on March 9. He didn't get the $4 but he got 30 days in jail for trying to. "He was drunk," said an officer. Accused had a long record, dating from 1913.

"Too bad." sighed Magistrate Browne, passing sentence.

Because he took a fancy to five ties in a department store and then took them, Joe Ivan was sentenced to ten days.

"I understand you are one of their worst customers," observed Crown-Attorney C. L. Snyder.

Denied Stealing Clothing Alleged to have broken into Maurice Leget's clothing store and stolen 11 pair of trousers and three suits, Dan Mulvihill pleaded not guilty and elected trial by jury. He was committed to trial.

Leon Hirch, Queen St. W., second-hand clothing dealer, identified accused as the man who had sought to dispose of goods allegedly stolen.

"Have you any writing to identify me?" demanded accused. "No."

"Isn't it customary to take a signature when people sell you clothing?"

"Yes."

"Committed for trial," ruled the bench.

Goes to "Pen" For Two Years "You are the most persistent thief in the city; you are too dangerous a character to be allowed at large," declared Magistrate Browne as he sentenced Fred Brown, colored, to two years in Kingston penitentiary [pictured, right].

Brown was charged with stealing three auto robes and a box of tools valued at $300 from Peter Rankin's car.

A Finnish roomer of Brown's took the stand, and an interpreter was brought up.

"I object," protested accused. "That man speaks English; he doesn't need an interpreter at all."

His objection was over-ruled. "1 saw accused bring the tools into our boarding room," he said. "I saw this man at No. 2 station," said Det.-Sergt. Johns. "His statement read: 'I met a man on Queen St. W. He asked me if I would carry the tool box and blankets for 50 cents. I didn't know the man because I was drunk'."

Brown told the court that he had "just been coming out" of a drunk which had lasted a week.

"I don't believe your story." declared his worship. "There will be a conviction."

"I expected that," retorted accused. A long record was read, which included a visit to court last week.

Snatched Benefactor's Purse "It was a dirty trick; you are getting worse and worse, the bench admonished John Hall, 46, charged with theft. "You are heading for the penitentiary and that is where you are going to end up. It will be 30 days this time."

"I was lending accused 50c when he snatched my pocket book and a $5 bill," Martin Masker, an elderly man, told the court. "I knew him slightly and he asked me on the street for 50c. I never saw him afterwards."

"I was drunk," pleaded accused. "I looked for him afterwards."

The court was told that accused had already been sentenced in county police court to 10 days on a drunk charge.

Smashed Glass, Made Threat With the sudden heavy snowfall last night came a decrease in the early police court list this morning. There were three drunks and one "vag."

Jack Powell came all the from Alberta via Montreal to way Toronto with 10 cents in his pocket. He was caught begging around a big hotel by an officer last night.

"I will be on my way right away," promised accused. "I wish you would give me time to -"

"I will give you time," returned Magistrate Tinker. "It will be $10 and costs or thirty days."

Up again for being intoxicated, Walt Devern was given an option of $10 or ten days.

"I plead guilty to drinking, but not to being drunk," declared Leslie Williams. The court remanded him until to-morrow with bail set at $25.

Hardly had the ink on the bail-bond dried when he came back and asked to change his plea.

"I plead guilty," he grinned sheepishly.

"Who put up your bail?" demanded the bench. "A friend."

"Oh, just a friend! Remanded for sentence."

Another alleged drunk was remanded until to-morrow to "sober up."

"This morning the glass in front door was crashed in and my I heard a man say, 'I'll get you'," testified Doris Campbell, charging Frank Lokoz with malicious damage to property.

"I saw this man, who appeared to be drunk, stagger across the road and sprawl on the steps of another house. I yelled for a couple of men to get him."

She said the damage was about $5 and accused, on giving his undertaking to pay it, was remanded for sentence. On a drunk charge he was remanded on $50 bail until March 28.

Albert Clarke, barrister, acquitted last week by an assize court jury of a manslaughter charge, to-day appeared before Magistrate Jones in traffic court and was freed of a charge of having, arising out of the same accident. The charge was marked withdrawn.

[Brown, alias Ernie Davis, was 28, married, from Albany, N.Y., but long resident in Canada, worked as a porter, and had a long criminal record including two terms in Burwash Industrial Farm and two terms in the Toronto Jail Farm. He had never been in penitentiary before. He was convict #3403 at the prison, and worked in an outside trucking crew. He had a few reports, but nothing serious, and was released early on good behaviour in September 1935. He would return to the penitentiary in December 1936, having also accrued another term in Burwash in between.]

Singapore’s Grain, a profitable food delivery startup, pulls in $10M for expansion

Cloud kitchens are the big thing in food delivery, with ex-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick’s new business one contender in that space, with Asia, and particularly Southeast Asia, a major focus. Despite the newcomers, a more established startup from Singapore has raised a large bowl of cash to go after regional expansion.

Founded in 2014, Grain specializes in clean food while it takes a different approach to Kalanick’s CloudKitchens or food delivery services like Deliveroo, FoodPanda or GrabFood.

It adopted a cloud kitchen model — utilizing unwanted real estate as kitchens, with delivery services for output — but used it for its own operations. So while CloudKitchens and others rent their space to F&B companies as a cheaper way to make food for their on-demand delivery customers, Grain works with its own chefs, menu and delivery team. A so-called ‘full stack’ model if you can stand the cliched tech phrase.

Finally, Grain is also profitable. The new round has it shooting for growth — more on that below — but the startup was profitable last year, CEO and co-founder Yi Sung Yong told TechCrunch.

Now it is reaping the rewards of a model that keeps it in control of its product, unlike others that are complicated by a chain that includes the restaurant and a delivery person.

We previously wrote about Grain when it raised a $1.7 million Series A back in 2016 and today it announced a $10 million Series B which is led by Thailand’s Singha Ventures, the VC arm of the beer brand. A bevy of other investors took part, including Genesis Alternative Ventures, Sass Corp, K2 Global — run by serial investor Ozi Amanat who has backed Impossible Foods, Spotify and Uber among others — FoodXervices and Majuven. Existing investors Openspace Ventures, Raging Bull — from Thai Express founder Ivan Lee — and Cento Ventures participated.

The round includes venture debt, as well as equity, and it is worth noting that the family office of the owners of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf — Sassoon Investment Corporation — was involved.

Grain covers individual food as well as buffets in Singapore

Three years is a long gap between the two deals — Openspace and Cento have even rebranded during the intervening period — and the ride has been an eventful one. During those years, Sung said the business had come close to running out of capital before it doubled down on the fundamentals before the precarious runway capital ran out.

In fact, he said, the company — which now has over 100 staff — was fully prepared to self-sustain.

“We didn’t think of raising a Series B,” he explained in an interview. “Instead, we focused on the business and getting profitable… we thought that we can’t depend entirely on investors.”

And, ladies and gentleman, the irony of that is that VCs very much like a business that can self-sustain — it shows a model is proven — and investing in a startup that doesn’t need capital can be attractive.

Ultimately, though, profitability is seen as sexy today — particularly in the meal space where countless U.S. startups has shuttered including Munchery and Sprig — but the focus meant that Grain had to shelve its expansion plans. It then went through soul-searching times in 2017 when a spoilt curry saw 20 customers get food poisoning.

Sung declined to comment directly on that incident, but he said that company today has developed the “infrastructure” to scale its business across the board, and that very much includes quality control.

Grain currently delivers “thousands” of meals per day in Singapore, its sole market, with eight-figures in sales per year, he said. Last year, growth was 200 percent, Sung continued, and now is the time to look overseas. With Singha, the Grain CEO said the company has “everything we need to launch in Bangkok.”

Thailand — which Malaysia-based rival Dahamakan picked for its first expansion — is the only new launch on the table, but Sung said that could change.

“If things move faster, we’ll expand to more cities, maybe one per year,” he said. “But we need to get our brand, our food and our service right first.”

One part of that may be securing better deals for raw ingredients and food from suppliers. Grain is expanding its ‘hub’ kitchens — outposts placed strategically around town to serve customers faster — and growing its fleet of trucks, which are retrofitted with warmers and chillers for deliveries to customers.

Grain’s journey is proof that startups in the region will go through trials and tribulations, but being able to bolt down the fundamentals and reduce burn rate is crucial in the event that things go awry. Just look to grocery startup Honestbee, also based in Singapore, for evidence of what happens when costs are allowed to pile up.
