GAOL FOR THEFT OF CAR.
Auckland, Last Night. “I do not, of course, propose to take into account the agitation regarding the theft of ears/’ said Mr .Justice Smith in the Supreme Court when two young men appeared for sentence for having stolen a motorcar. The judge’s comment arose from a statement made by counsel. Prisoners, Clement Robert Lawson, and Thomas Edward Walsh, who were represented by Mr Noble, had been found guilty of stealing a motor-car owned by Andrew Caughey. It was stated at the trial that the car had been taken in Auckland and driven to Wellington. Lawson was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment and Walsh to 12 months’. The terms in each case were cumulative upon the sentence each is now serving.
