SUPREME COURT
WELLINGTON SESSIONS. TWO YEARS’ HARD LABOUR. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, May 6. Looking at the record before him of Philip Gordon Brazer, aged 25, in the Supreme Court Mr Justice Blair said that apparently the prisoner was a stowaway in 1930 and this country had not been improved by his arrival. Brazier was found guilty yesterday afternoon on two charges of theft and on a charge of breaking, entering and theft of cigarettes and tobacco from the Hawkes Bay Farmers’ Co-op Stores at Dannevirke. He was sentenced to two years’ hard labour. In passing sentence his Honour said that he thought Brazier had properly been found guilty by the jury. He probably was not the only one involved in the offences but at the same time he must have known the risk he was taking.
