STOLEN FURS.
PROBATION REFUSED. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 5. A waterside worker, with uo previous convictions, was sentenced at the Magistrate’s Court to-day to a month's imprisonment on a charge of receiving two stolen furs. His counsel suggested that, according to a decision of the Court of Appeal, the man was entitled to probation. Mr If. K. Hunt, S.M., said: ‘I am not going to be bound by those rules in this Court. If I am not doing my work properly, I can be removed elsewhere.” Mr Hunt added that pillaging had grown to such a serious extent that drastic steps were necessary to put it down.
