STOWAWAYS SENTENCED AT AUCKLAND
AUSTRALIAN’S SEARCH FOR EMPLOYMENT (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEORAU.) AUCKLAND, June 2. Two men, a labourer and a farm hand, who appeared in the Magistrate’s Court last week on a charge of stowing away on the Wanganella at Sydney on May 21, came before Mr W. R, McKean, S.M., for sentence. Senior-Sergeant Flanagan said that one of the accused, Charles Thomas Cross, a labourer, aged 27, came to New Zealand to look for work. He had heard there was plenty of work in New Zealand, but as he could not obtain the money to come here he took his chance in stowing away and was satisfied to take the consequences. The other accused, George Dudley Burns, a farm hand, aged 18, had been under the Child Welfare Department, and Senior-Sergeant Flanagan recommended his return to the department. Cross was sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment, and Burns was placed under the Child Welfare Department.
