Section 161(1)(c) does not require proof of the defendant's motive or purpose for obtaining information; 'gain' includes obtaining information, and on the evidence before the magistrate the circumstances supported a finding of dishonesty under the Ghosh test, so the conviction was safe and the appeal was dismissed.
