CLERK IMPRISONED FOR THEFT
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, November 12. Three months’ gaol with a year on probation to follow was imposed on Charles Te Rakahuru Hynes, aged 24, clerk, in the Magistrate’s Court at Auckland today when he appeared for sentence before Mr R. M. Grant, S.M., on a charge of theft as a servant of the Justice Department of £l2l 16s 2d. The Magistrate said that though Hynes occupied a position of trust in the Magistrate’s Court, he could not be treated in any other category than anyone else who had stolen the same way. His was a “senseless theft.” He had tried to impress his wife by this and with a grandiose idea that he had a £5OOO legacy, which was a lie.
