NO PROBATION.
AN INDEPENDENT MAGISTRATE,
(Per Press Association.) Wellington, August 7.
A waterside worker with no previous convictions was sentence!! at the Magistrate’s Court to-day to a month’s imprisonment on a charge of receiving two stolen furs. His counsel suggested that, according to the recent decision of the Court of Appeal* the man was entitled to Probation. Mr Hunt, S.M., said: “I am not going toi be bound by those rules in this court. If I am not doing my work properly I can be removed elsewhere.” Mr Hunt added that pillaging had grown to such a serious extent that drastic steps were necessary to put it down.
