TERMS OF PROBATION.
HOME AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
MUST NOT DRINK OR SMOKE.
One of the prisoners who appeared before His Honor the Chief Justice (Sir Robert Stout) for sentence at the Supreme Court yesterday was Edward R. Crawford, a young man, found guilty of perjury in connection with a charge arising out of certain evidence given by him in the S.M. Court, to the effect that he was an eye-witness of a tramcar accident at Ponsonby, by which a horse was killed. Accused said he had nothing to say as to why sentence should not be passed.
His Honor said the prisoner had doubtless fallen entirely through drink. He was a young man, and His Honor intended to give him a chance by placing him under probation for two years. But this would be subject to certain strict conditions, namely, that during the first 12 months prisoner should not leave his house after eight o'clock at night without the written consent of the probation officer. Further, he must not during the full term of his probation visit a hotel, neither should he drink intoxicating liquors, nor smoke, and he must consent to the issue of a prohibition order. If the prisoner desired to redeem himself this was his last chance.
