SHOPLIFTING CASES
MAN AND WOMAN CAUGHT THEFTS IN CITY STORES Seen by an assistant in a Queen Street shop to slip a gas lighter up her sleeve on Friday afternoon, a married woman, Mary Moriarty, aged 43, appeared in the Police Court on Saturday charged with the theft of the lighter, valued at Is. In an explanation to the police she said that she intended to buy the lighter, but was suddenly tempted.
Accused was convicted and remanded until to-morrow for sentence, bail of £lO being allowed. " No, I shall not suppress the name of a person engaged in shoplifting. It is too prevalent," said the magistrate, Mr. Wyvern Wilson, when accused's husband asked that her name be suppressed. Leslie George Judd, aged 28, who appeared for sentence on a charge of stealing goods valued at 25s from a cfty store last Tuesday, was admitted to probation for 12 months.
