FORGED CHEQUES
THREE OFFENCES
MAN AND WOMAN SENTENCED
(By Telegraph—l'ress Association.)
DUNEDIN, This Day.
On three charges of forgery at Invercargill Jack Sutton, aged 22, and Daphne Beresford Browning, aged 22, appeared for sentence in the Supreme Court today before Mr. Justice Kennedy. Sutton was sentenced to nine months' reformative detention and Browning was admitted to a year's probation is to remain in a Salvation <Army home for three months.
Addressing the male prisoner, the Judge said he had shown contempt for leniency by again and again embarking on fresh crimes. The Crown Prosecutor, in . describing the offences, stated that the woman prisoner had received merciful treatment from the Court within the past year. Sutton's offences were rather mean. He appeared to have accepted the hospitality of the girl's parents, abusing it by stealing three cheque, forms, living with the daughter as man and wife at a hotel, and inducing her to forge her mother's name to the cheques, with which he swindled people. •
