YOUNG WOMAN’S CRIMES.

JUDGE’S CRITICISM. NOT A CASE FOR PROBATION. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Wednesday. A number of prisoners, all young were sentenced at the Supreme Court by Mr. Justice Herdman, who criticised gravely the crimes of the, young woman, Annie McWalker, who pleaded guilty in court to three charges of forgery and false pretences. “She falsified her employer’s books and obtained a sum of about £SOO, and also forged orders for a fair sum,” said His Honour, “and I must weigh the seriousness of these crimes, also the fact that she made a false accusation against a police officer, though she subsequently withdrew it.” He did not think it was a ease for probation. Tho accused, ho added, had systematically, deliberately and persistently helped herself to her employer’s propertv. Fhe would be sentenced to one year’s reformative treatment, which ITis Honour reminded her was subject to the review of the Prisons Board.
