A "SWANKY" PUNISHMENT.
MAORIS AND PROBATION. BUT NO COLOUR. LINE IN BRITISH J USTICE. (Per Press Association. GISBORNE, March 14. At the Supreme Court, Tukawhina Reiheama was sentenced to three years’ probation for the theft of £8 from the person. In delivering sentence, Mr Justice Reed said that young Maoris released on probation were under the impression they had won the case and were inclined to swank on the results of the trial. If the accused had been a European he would have got probation, so he did not like to make a racial distinction. Also, the accused served in the war. The accused would be required to be prohibited for three years and pay the costs of the prosecution, £23.
