REFORMATIVE DETENTION ORDERED
THEFT OF HOSPITAL BOARD FUNDS
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, December 3., On 15 charges of theft of Hospital Board moneys totalling £559, Angus Campbell Macmurray, aged 48, was to-day sentenced by Mr Justice Callan to 12 months' reformative detention. Macmurray went overseas in 1940 and was invalided back last year. He then worked as a commercial traveller and later with the Kawakawa Hospital Board. While employed by the board he stole the moneys. His Honour said that the embezzlements had taken place in six months and 10 days. It was difficult to believe that the money had all gone in drink, because a man would have to entertain lavishly to spend £IOOO a year on liquor. MacMurray’s good record in this and the last war would be taken into account.
