MANAGER'S THEFTS
A TWO YEARS' SENTENCE
P.A. CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Two years' reformative detention was the sentence imposed on Cyril Graham Storry by Mr. Justice Norther oft in the Supreme Court this morning. Storry. had pleaded guilty to four charges of theft as a servant while employed by Woolworths as branch manager. "Your case is a serious one," said his Honour. "It represents systematic depredations upon your employers. . It has the aggravating circumstance that it was theft from employers, and it is particularly aggravated here by the fact that you were in/ charge and had a duty to protect rather than destroy the interests of your employers. It seems to be aggravated also by the circumstances that it was not done under need." Counsel said that the amount the police were able to prove as stolen was only £235, but Storry had informed the police of offences, taking the total to £840.
