THEFT FROM SHOPS
GAOL FOR OFFENDERS.
P*r Pr#w Amtoolatioa.
CHRISTCHURCH. October 24.
“Shop-lifters must be punished severely, because shopkeepers most be protected, and they have a right to trust their customers,” said the magistrate, in fining Frances Matilda Richards £lO for stealing a piece of curtaining valued at 9s 6d from a shop. The magistrate refused an order for the suppression of the woman’s name, and said it was really necessary in all shoplifting cases that accused should be sent to gaol.
