CARRIER IMPRISONED FOR THEFT OF CASES
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, April 6. William George Hayden was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment for the theft of 2280 packing cases valued at £399. He was a driver for a carrying firm which worked for Woolworths, Ltd. Between April, 1941, and February, 1943, he called on Hannah and Company on 174 occasions and sold them cases which he had collected at the railway station for return to Woolworths. A storeman for Hannah and Company, who received 79 of the cases knowing they were stolen, was admitted to probation for 18 months. His counsel said he had been Instructed to buy cases where he could, and learning that Hayden had cases for sale he bought them, but only in the last few months had he suspected that they were stolen.
