CONVICTED OF CRIME.
PRISONERS SENTENCED. (By Telegraph. —Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Monday. In the Supreme Court, Thomas Vining Gallagher, on 18 charges of theft from his employer, was ordered 12 months' Borstal treatment. Henry Richard Jeffrey and Sydney Ashderdon, for breaking and entering with intent, received 12 months' imprisonment. AN UNUSUAL COURSE. SURGICAL TREATMENT SUGGESTED AUCKLAND, Monday. An unusual course was adopted by His Honour, Mr Justice Stringer in the Supreme Court in the case of John McDonald (58) who was found guiltv of indecent assault. Counsel said-McDonald was a man of good character whose physical condition was probably responsible for his offence, and surgical treatment would no doubt effect a cure. • After hearing the evidence of two doctors, His Honour said if he were assured that treatment would be carried out in the interim he would be prepared to order the prisoner to come up for sentence in six months. If in the interim the cause was removed he would admit accused to probation. Prisoner who was admitted to bail for two weeks collapsed in the dock and was carried out of court.
