(N Z. Press Association)
AUCKLAND. December 26.
A Fijian Indian who broke into the North Canterbury Nassella Tussock Board camp was sent to prison for 12 months by Mr C. E. H. Pledger, S.M., in the Auckland Magistrate’s Court on Friday. The man, Givord Prasad, aged 20, a workman, pleaded guilty to a charge of breaking and entering the camp on November 10.
The prosecutor, DetectiveSergeant J. Sheehan, said Prasad, with another man, broke into a house in the camp and stole £750 worth of clothing and money. About £259 worth of the property had been recovered. The other man had been dealt with in the Christchurch Magistrate’s Court. Prasad, now an inmate at Mount Eden waiting deportation, had at first denied the offence but later admitted it.
