YOUNG MAN’S THEFTS
SENTENCE OP THREE MONTHS’ IMPRISONMENT (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND, May 25. A sentence of three months’ imprisonment was imposed by Mr Wyvern Wilson, S.M., on Raymond William Hyland, aged 28 years, a baker, for the theft of a suit of clothes and a fountain-pen from the room of the proprietor - of a city boarding-house. The police said that the accused had been stopping with a family at Glen Eden. He succeeded in convincing them that he was worth £16,000, and that a prominent solicitor was handling his estate. He became engaged to a young woman whose father was on sustenance, and told the family that they would have an elaborate wedding about Christmas. Suppression of his name was refused. Defending counsel said that the accused’s family was eminently respectable, and that he was the “black sheep.”
