WOMEN IN COURT
(By Telegraph.—-Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, This Day. An extensive series of shop-lifting operations was disclosed in tho Police Court when Mrs. May Mahs was charged with a large number of thefts involving about £.152. A statement was submitted showing that she had been operating for some years. Kate Macdonald, aged 26, was charged with participating in four charges. In sentencing Mahs to four months in gaol,' the Magistrato said that she had deliberately set out on systematic thieving for which there was no necessity, for her husband was in good circumstances. In many cases the articles were valuable, mainly dresses. ■ Macdonald was admitted to probation for eighteen months.
