Van Rees pleaded guilty to the charge last week, having been disqualified for 10 years in the Invercargill Magistrate's Count in 1958.

Before being sentenced, Van Rees told the Court that his wife had been unable to drive him to work because two of their children were ill.

He cancelled -the accused's licence for a further year. WOMAN GAOLED

Sergeant V. F. Townshend said the accused had 12 previous convictions, mostly for drunkenness. From the dock, Paviell said -that if she had her baby given back to her she would not drink again. Before imposing sentence the Magistrate stood the case down so he could consult a probation officer's report on the accused. When die case was again called the Magistrate said he had read the probation officer's report and there was a very good reason why the child had not been returned. "There is only one thing to do. put you in prison,’’ he said.
