THEFTS AT OPARAU
EX-SECRETARY SENTENCED. TWO YEARS’ HARD LABOUR. “It is very regrettable that a man of your undoubted ability should be in the situation you find yourself to-day. It appears that for a long time, while you were in charg*e of the affairs of thl’.s company you deliberately and systematically stole the money of the farmers who formed the members of the company,” said Sir Michael M’yers, the Chief Justice, in the Supreme Court, Hamilton, yesterday, in sentencing Charles Edward Crews (49), (Mr N. S. Johnson), formerly of Oparau, to two years’ imprisonment with hard labour for theft as a servant when secretary-manager of the Oparau Dairy Company, Limited. Accused, who was represented by Mr J. F. Strang, had pleaded guilty.
