GAOL TERM EXTENDED
Six months' imprisonment with hard labour to run concurrently with a term of one month at present being served was the sentence imposed upon William John Carr, aged 29, a cook and labourer, in the Magistrate's Court today.- He pleaded guilty to stealing an overcoat valued at £6 6s from C. G. Camp.
The coat had disappeared from Mr. Camp's office on June 27, said Detec-tive-Sergeant L. Revell, and on the same day the accused had disposed of it. Detective J. M. Bourke recovered it, and the accused admitted the theft. Earlier this month Carr had been sentenced to one month's imprisonment for a similar offence. He had 33 previous convictions.
"I was pretty drunk at the time," said Carr.
"You have been pretty drunk quite a number of times' in the last seven years," retorted Mf. E. ,D. Mosley, S.M.
