Accused admitted taking a £5 note form the house of a relative. The chief detective said accused and her husband have been living and supporting their baby on charitable aid. She took the money because she was really “up against it.” Exercising his powers under the First Offenders’ Probation Act, the Magistrate dismissed the case. Refund of the money was ordered.
