SUPREME COURT
DUNEDIN SITTINGS. (SI TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) DUNEDIN, This Day. The criminal sittings opened before Mr. Justice Sim. Charles M'Donald, an old man, who was declared an habitual criminal in 1919, was sentenced to six months in gaol on each of nine charges of false pretences* the sentences to be cumulative, and again declared an habitual criminal. The Judge remarked that he could not understand why the Prisons Board from time to time let out habituals, thus giving them opportunities for further crime. David Louis Armour Michie, on three charges of breaking and entering, received three years' probation. Colin Frederick M'Donald, on two charges of breaking and entering, was sentenced to three years' reformative detention. Nathaniel Walsh (21) for carnal knowledge, received twelve months' detention. James Alexander Fraser and Robert Murray Newlands pleaded guilty to demanding money with menaces. The former was fined £25, and the latter £10.
