THREATENING LETTER
RECEIPT BY FOXTON TOWN CLERK. SUPREME COURT SEQUEL. [ Per Press Association.] PALMERSTON N., May 2. In the Supreme Court, Arthur Ernest Smith, 65, carpenter, of Foxton, who admitted sending a letter containing a threat to do bodily harm to William Trueman, town clerk of Foxton, appeared before Mr. Justice Blair for sentence. His Honour said he did not want to interfere with Smith’s chances of getting a pension by entering a conviction, and did not want to admit him to probation because it would cost him something, so he proposed merely to order him to come up for sentence within 12 months if called on. Counsel intimated that trouble between Smith and the Foxton Borough Council had culminated in the sending of the offending letter.
