Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Dec. 19

Mr. Justice Ostler said that Pemberton undoubtedly was the ringleader and he ordered him to be detained not more than three years in a Borstal institution. Atkinson was admitted to probation for a period of two years and was ordered to make restitution and pay the costs of the prosecution within six months.
