POLICE COURT NEWS.
ALLEGED THEFT OF WHISKY.
The theft of a flask of whisky valued at 58 was admitted by Arthur James Fischer at the Police Court on Saturday before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M. SeniorSergeant McNamara said that the accused was a porter at the Suffolk Hotel. The licensee suspected that whisky was being purloined, and accused's room was searched, the flask being found under the mattress of the bed. Accused said he had taken the whisky to drink and not to sell. The magistrate said, in view of the circumstances, he would not record a conviction. Accused was therefore admonished and discharged. • A youth of 18, Raymond Both Little, who previously was convicted on a charge of damaging a motor-car and remanded for the probation officer's report, was admitted to probation for 18 months. William Gray, who admitted a second offence of insobriety, was fined 10s, and Charles Mack, who did not appear, oft a similar charge was fined 20s.
