STEALS ALL THE TIME
DOMESTIC’S BAD RECORD EMPLOYERS VICTIMISED NINE MONTHS’ GAOL “TN her own interest, and in the interest of ladies in the pjty, something must be done with this woman. She takes domestic positions for a few days, and is stealing all the time.” In these words Major Gordon, female probation officer, told Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., what she knew about Violet Robinson, aged 27, at the Police Court this morning. Robinson pleaded guilty to three charges of stealing goods valued at 21s from a house in Parnell. Senior-Sergeant Edwards said that accused had been employed at the house for a few days. It was noticed that articles were missing, and the police were sent for. “She has nine convictions in New Zealand and Australia,” said the senior-sergeant. “She has had her chances.” She was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment on each charge, the terms to be cumulative.
