CRIME PUNISHED
PRISONERS SENTENCED Several prisoners appeared for sentence before Mr. Justice Reed in the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon. Mr. P. S.K. Macassey appeared for the Crown. Kenna Rerekura was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment on a charge of forging and.uttering. His Honour said the prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment last year for the same.sort of offence. If the prisoner continued in the way he was going he would probably end by being made an habitual criminal. "I am going to treat this as a purely technical breach of probation," said his Honour when he sentenced Daniel Arthur Dineen to six months' imprisonment, concurrent with an existing sentence, for* a breach of probation. Dineen stated that he had completed his,term of probation, but had not been able to make restitution. There had been a great deal of sickness in his home. When things, were improving he indulged in alcohol, and that had led to the present charge. A sentence of twelve; months' imprisonment with hard labour was imposed on William Reed on a charge of indecent assault on a female. His Honour, in imposing sentence, remarked that the offence the prisoner had committed was not of the serious nature usually associated with such charges, but, at the same time, young children had to/be protected.
