JUDGE’S WARNING.
False Statement about Birth of Child. (Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND, March 9. “ There is no doubt this sort of crime is becoming too common, and stern measures will have to be taken to stop it. Your character is satisfactory 7, and it is useless fining you as you are a relief worker,” said Mr Justice Reed at the Supreme Court when William Paul Farrow, alias Darcy 7, appeared for sentence on a charge of wilfully making a false statement when registering the birth of a child. Counsel for Farrow said that the false statement made could not injure anybody very much. The prisoner had made it for the sake of the woman he was living with.
Farrow was ordered to come up for sentence if called upon within two years. A condition was that he paid the costs of the prosecution, £1 Is.
