YEAR’S PROBATION FOR YOUNG WOMAN
Pleading guilty to the theft of a child's dress and two twin-sets, valued in all at £5 0s 2d, from the Drapery and Importing Company, Ardar Skinner, also known as Ruby Mann, married, aged 22, was admitted to one year’s probation when she appeared before Mr S. S. Preston, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. She is to make restitution of £1 6s lid. Employed as a shop assistant at the D.1.C., Skinner had taken the articles and given them to a woman in Wanganui, Senior-Sergeant F. Culloty told the Court. Later this woman went to the D.I.C. to change the articles as they did not fit the child they were intended for. In the meantime Skinner went to Auckland and she was found there. She had a grey slack suit on approval and had not paid for it, although she had worn it. Skinner had not been in trouble before. For Skinner, Mr R. E. Jack said that her address and education were excellent, the education being above that of the average New Zealander. (Skinner is a Samoan.)
