THEFT OF FURNITURE AT INVERCARGILL
LABOURER SENTENCED AT AUCKLAND (P.A.) AUCKLAND, November 13. The theft of furniture valued at £42 in Invercargill on October 10 was admitted by Eric Kissell, aged 32, unmarried, a labourer, in the Magistrate’s Court. The police said Kissell rented a furnished house in Invercargill in which he lived with a married woman living apart from her husband. He sold the furniture for £42 and came to Auckland and adopted an assumed name. When located he had spent the money. He had a bad record and preferred to spend money in hotels rather than pay accounts. Defending counsel said the woman with whom Kissell had lived was in hospital and had been given blood transfusions. Kissell foolishly sold the furniture. The woman had returned to her parents in Christchurch. The Magistrate, Mr F. H. Levien, ordered reformative detention not exceeding 12 months.
