SLEEPING OUT
PRISONER FOR SENTENCE. BREAKING AND ENTERING. (Per United Press Association.) Dunedin, May 5. When Norris Cochrane Kerr, aged 23, appeared for sentence in the Supreme Court on a charge of breaking and entering, counsel in extenuation said the prisoner was sleeping out, and was short of food. He came from respectable parents in England, only arriving in New Zealand last October. He had had the benefit of a public school education. He had been working for an insurance company on commission, but had found it a hopeless task as he knew no one.
The Judge remanded the prisoner.
