REFORMATIVE DETENTION ORDERED PA AUCKLAND. Jan. 24. James Leonard Thurlow, aged 34, a painter, who was sentenced in January for posing as an Auckland trotting trainer at Lower Hutt and obtaining £lO from a music teacher by a trick was today sentenced in the Police Court to 12 months’ reformative detention. On another charge he pleaded guilty to stealing £SO from William Arthur Tubby, a bootmaker, of Hamilton East, in October. The police said Thurlow told Tubby he had 25 pairs of jockeys’ riding boots awaiting attention and if he would repair them i&r him he would let Tubby in_on a certainty for the Whangarei trots. Tubby gave a cheque for £SO. The magistrate, Mr F. McCarthy, ordered that the sentence be concurrent with a sentence of 18 months’ reformative detention the prisoner is already serving.
