COUNTY COUNCIL’S FUND
JUNIOR CLERK’S THEFT. [PEB PBESS ASSOCIATION.] AUCKLAND, August 29. John David Dennis, 21, formerly junior clerk in the office of the Rodney County Council, appeared for sentence, to-day, after a week in custody, for stealing £5O belonging to the Council.
The Magistrate said that Dennis had been under the influence of a superior officer who had tried to shelve the blame on Dennis. .. He would be convicted and placed on probation for two years. ■
No order was made for restitution, counsel stating that £5O, plus £l3 10s wages, due to Dennis, had been received in restitution by Dennis’s superior officer, and so far, it could not be proved what happened to the money.
