SUPREME COURT
SENTENCES AT CHRISTCHURCH. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Oct. 28. In the Supreme Court Mr. Justice Ostler sentenced Norris Blaxall, aged 39, a jeweller, for obtaining money by false pretences (six charges) to three months’ hard labour. The Judge said: “I believe you really thought you could not be touched by the law, but I also believe that you knew you were doing a mean trick.” The prisoner had made medals with a silver core and a coating of gold and sold them as solid gold. * Gordon Webb Hazeldine, for burglaries and theft, was sentenced to three years’ reformative detention. The Crown Prosecutor said that Hazendine was an exceedingly dangerous man, who had for a long period made a considerable income by theft, and boasted of it.
