Earle Frederick Dodds, aged 34, was sentenced in the Supreme Court to two years’ imprisonment with hard labour the terms to be concurrent. Mr Justice Cooke said the case was one in which leniency could not be extended. “ You are a comparatively young man, but, unfortunately, your record is a bad one,” said his Honor. “ You have already served a period in the Borstal and you have undergone detention for forgery The offences for which you have now been convicted are serious, and it is impossible for me to be lenient.”
