SENTENCE—ONE MINUTE.
“TILL RISING OF COURT.” (Special to the ‘‘Herald.’’) CHRISTCHURCH, August 22. An unusual case came before the Supreme Court to-day when Alfred Herbert Rudd was charged with a breach of his probation. In 1926, Rudd was admtited to probation on a charge of conspiracy. He was ordered to repay £l6l 10s to his creditors in three years. His conduct, the Probation Officer stated, was excellent, but, at the end of three years he had been able to repay only £B6 10s. It was not his fault. Mr W. H. Darby, Probation Officer, who spoke highly of Rudd, said that the best plan was to admit him to a further term of probation, and to order him to repay the money as he* could do so, at not less than 5s a week. After a good deal of discussion with Mr Donnelly, Crown Prosecutor, His Honour sentenced Rudd for breaking the terms of his probation, to be detained as a prisoner until the rising of the Court. The court rose one minute later, ana Rudd was released.
