STOWAWAY ON MONOWAI
ONE MONTH'S IMPRISONMENT "LESSON IN THRIFT NEEDED" "There is nothing vicious in his record, but he has no idea of the value of money, and is extravagant, and 1 ask that the maximum penalty of one month's imprisonment be imposed," said the Rev. Jasper Calder, City Missioner, in the Police Court yesterday, when Lionel John Lynch, aged 22, appeared for sentence on a charge of stowing away on the steamer Monowai at Sydney. Mr. Calder said that accused had been thoroughly spoiled and needed a lesson in habits of industry and thrift. He had been in a Borstal institution, and on his release had received £15;") from the Public Trustee, which he had squandered. "It seems you have been killed by kindness," said the magistrate, Mr. W yvern Wilson, in sentencing accused to one month's imprisonment.
