ROBBERY CHARGE
MAGISTRATE REFUSES TO DEAL WITH ACCUSED (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, December ?0. Kenneth Reuben Browne, aged 24 a labourer, pleaded guilty in the Auckland Magistrate’s Court today to a charge of robbing an elderly man of £9O, but Mr R. M. Grant, S.M.. declined to deal with him. An adjournment was taken after the police prosecutor (Mr E. J. Gaines) had outlined the facts. When the Court resumed, the Magistrate said that because of the seriousness of the facts outlined, he would not deal with Browne. Addressing Browne, he said: "You will be dealt with in an indictable fashion, which means that you can be sent to the Supreme Court. I am remanding you until December 28, and if depositions cannot be taken in this Court on that date, the police can apply for a remand to a suitable date."
