SAID HE STOLE FOR HIS FAMILY.
JUDGE DIDN’T BELIEVE STORY OF ACCUSED. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 20 Cecil Mark Brown was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in the Supreme Court for breaking entering and theft. Mr Justice Reed said that accused’s plea that he was out of work and had stolen to provide for his wife and children would not hold water. Since serving a term of imprisonment for another offence he had been living a selfindulgent life, spending his money on drink and amusement. Walter Henry M’Connell, who was convicted of forgery and false pretences, and who had also broken his probation, was sentenced to three years’ gaol.
