THEFT OF A TIE
Thomas Edward Winnie, a labourer, aged 25, pleaded guilty before Mr. H. P. Lawry, S.M., in the Petone Court today to a charge of theft of a tie value at 2s 6,d. Senior-Sergeant H. C. D. Wade said that after taking too much liquor Winnie went into a shop in Petone to make a purchase, and while the shopman was seeing to something he took a tie. Constable Honeybone was standing in the doorway of the shop and arrested him. "Liquor is his trouble; when he is sober he is all right," commented the senior-sergeant. Winnie was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called on within two years. He agreed to take out a prohibition order.
