Relief Worker made Money to Buy Food. COMMITTED FOR SENTENCE. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, March 8. Thomas Marren, aged 53, a labourer, who pleaded guilty, was committed by Justices to the Supreme Court for sentence on four charges of uttering counterfeit half-crowns. The evidence shewed that the man was on relief for the past two years and that the coins were clumsy contrivances of lead and solder and used only for buying food for himself and his wife.
