BACK TO PRISON
OLD OFFENDER’S BRIEF LIBERTY.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hamilton, December 27. With a record dating back to 1915, a middle-aged man, Daniel Hcblcy, a few days after his discharge from gaol, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for issuing a valueless cheque for £B. Accused stated that in an orgy of drinking he had filled in a cheque to pay his board. The Magistrate (Mr. Wyvern Wilson) said it was useless sending accused to Rotorua as he had escaped from there twice already and was guilty of insubordination. Accused served twelve months’ imprisonment for forgery in 1928 and six months for false pretences a year later.
