STOLE EMPLOYER’S PETROL.

MOTOR DRIVER SENT TO GAOL

(P.A.) AUCKLAND. September 25. “Petrol thieving in the present circumstances is a form of sabotage, and the Court would not be doing its duty if it did not impose imprisonment,” said Mr J. H. Luxford, S.M., when he sentenced Charles Alfred Berry, aged 38, a motor driver, to three months’ imprisonment on one of two charges of stealing petrol belonging to his employer. Berry pleaded guilty. Defending counsel said that Berry was a married man with two children. He had worked 10 hours daily on essential work and had also done Home Guard service. The only possible explanation was that he had a small car and was anxious to drive his family out.
