FOUND IN TIMBER YARD.
SQUANDERED HIS MONEY.
MAX SENT TO GAOL
"It is a dangerous thing for a man to sleep in a timber yard, for he might strike a match and cause a big fire," said Senior Sergeant Edwards at the Police Court this morning, when Daniel Keane (40) admitted that he had been found without lawful excuse on Thursday night, in a shed on Leyland O'Brien's property, Fanshawe Street.
The senior sergeant added that some time ago Keane came from Wanganui with a" large amount of money. He squandered it and now had nothing. However, what he still had was 24 previous convictions, some for theft and some for drunkenness.
Keane was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
