CRIME AND ITS PENALTY.
PRISONERB SENTENCED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association). AUCKLAND, Monday. Cecil Mark Brown was sentenced to two years' imprisonment at the Supreme Court for breaking, entering and theft. His Honour Mr Justice Reed said accused's plea that he was out of work and had stolen to provide for his wife and children would not hold water, as since serving a term of imprisonment for another offence he had been living a self-indulgent life and spending his money on drink and amusement. Walter Henry McConnell, convicted of forgery and false pretences, who had also broken his probation, was sentenced to three years in gaol.
