SHEEP-STEALING CASE
Father and Son Punished By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, May 15. In the Supreme Court Alexander William Robinson, aged 52, and his son, John William Robinson, aged 25, were each sentenced to fifteen months’ reformative detention on charges of sheep stealing, conspiring to defraud, and false pretences. The Crown Prosecutor said that steep stealing was causing considerable concern to the police and farmers generally. Only recently a deputation of farmers had waited on the police for the purpose of endeavouring to discover ways and means of preventing the growth of this crime, which the police found very difficult, to detect, particularly because of the fastmoving motor traffic by which sheep were removed.
