THEFT BY FRAUD.
UNSATISFACTORY REPORT. PAINTER SENT TO PRISON. Samuel Robert Holland, aged 34, painter, after being one week in custody on remand, appeared in the Police Court this morning for sentence on charges of, on October 11, stealing a three-stone diamond ring, valued at £25, and on October 1, with incurring a debt of £1, obtaining credit by fraud. Mr. Sehvyn Clark, for Holland, said it was his client's first offence, and he asked that Holland be given an opportunity of rehabilitating himself. Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., said the report received from the probation officer was an unsatisfactory one. "You are not maintaining your wife, and you have taken up with another woman. You robbed her," said the magistrate, who sentenced Holland to two months' imprisonment on the first charge, and one month on the second, the terms to be concurrent.
