AUCKLAND, This Day. “It is very distressing to hear that the men charged with the duty of handling the butter which is being sent overseas indulge in the practice of breaking open boxes and dividing it among themselves. It is one of the most contemptuous kind of offences,” Mr J. H. Luxford S.M. said today when Alexander Stephen McGregor, aged 36. a labourer, admitted the theft of llj-lb of butter, the property of the Auckland Farmers’ Freezing Company. McGregor was sentenced to six weeks’ 1 imprisonment.
