"I have fined this man £50 on two occasions," said Mr. Hunt. "On the third occasion ho was stood over for sentence. After hearing a whole lot of men convicted ho goes away and does the same thing again. He pays no attention to the law or the Court. He is liable to six months' imprisonment or a fine of £100. Tho only thing to do with him is to send him to gaol. He- is sentenced to three months' imprisonment on each charge, the terms to be concurrent."
