SUDDEN TEMPTATION
Milk Deliverer’s Theft
Unable to resist a sudden temptation, Alexander Brown Forrester, an assistant milk deliverer, living in Lownr Hutt, stole 30/- from a “billy” left outside the door of one of his customers. He pleaded guilty to the theft in the Hower Hutt Magistrate’s Court yesterday and was ordered by the Magistrate, Mr. W. H. Woodward, S.M., to come up for sentence when called upon. He was also ordered to make restitution of the amount stolen within one month. Later Forrester was defendant in a judgment summons case. In crossexamination he admitted that he had had the money to keep up his payments, but he had spent it on girls. The magistrate said that if a girl was of the kind that a boy had to steal or get into debt for she was not worth while running after.
