STOWAWAY DEPORTED
PRISON SENTENCE FACTOR [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, June 25. A deportation order was issued by Mr C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., in the' Police Court against Francis Lewis, a labourer, aged 26, of Sydney, who admitted a charge or landing in Auckland while being prohibited from doing so, by reason of the fact that he landed within two years of the expiry of a prison sentence for an offence of which ho would have been liable to upward of two years’ imprisonment in New Zealand. Detective-sergeant M'Hugh -said the accused stowed away on the Kairanga from Sydney and landed in Auckland, on June 14. He was arrested and imprisoned and when he was due to be released it was found that ho had committed theft and had served a sentence in Australia. The Collector of Customs, therefore, requested that under the provisions of the Immigration Restrictions Act, the accused should be removed out of New Zealand. The Magistrate said the accused was liable to a fine, but since deportation was requested this would be more desirable in the interests of justice. Detective-sergeant M'Hugh indicated that arrangments would be made for the accused to leave New Zealand on Tuesday.
