LEAVE TO BE MARRIED
REQUEST FROM PRISONER
LONG-TERM SENTENCI
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day
An uncommon request that the judge make a direction, when sentencing the prisoner, that he be given brief leave under supervision to be married, was made by Mr. Noble on behalf of the prisoner, Edward Donovan, charged with breaking and entering and being in possession 01 house-breaking instruments. After having sentenced the prisoner to a long period of imprisonment, Mr. Justice Fair referred to the request for an opportunity for the prisoner to marry.
"That matter," he said, "can be considered by the authorities. I do not wish to say anything that will prejudice the prisoner in the matter, as I do not feel disposed to say anything in favour of the application."
