THEFT CHARGES
MILKMAN SENTENCED. CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. Thefts extending from February to November of various goods, including milk bottles, milk, motor-tires, and electrie-liglit bulbs of a total value of £4O, were cleared up when Frederick Walter Trotter, aged 50, a milkman, pleaded guilty in Christchurch to-day, to seventeen charges, and was sentenced by Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M., to four 'months’ hard labour. Concerning the theft of milk bottles, the police said that many complaints had been made. The offence was easy to commit, and difficult to detect. All the thefts had been committed in the early morning rounds. Charles Henry Francis Carr, aged 18, who had been associated with Trotter in a number of the thefts, was admitted to probation for two years.— (P.A.)
