LABOURER’S FRAUDS
FALSE DECLARATIONS FINE AND IMPRISONMENT (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Thursday Four charges of false declarations to obtain benefits under the Employment Promotion Act, and four more charges of false declarations under the Social Security Act were admitted by a labourer, Hugh Glover, in the Police Court before Mr J. Morling, S.M. The police stated that Glover disguised the fact that he had obtained employment and used a false name. On one charge Glover was fined the amount for which he defrauded the department, £3O 2s, and on another he was sentenced to two weeks’ imprisonment. “That is the lightest sentence I can conscientiously impose,” said the magistrate.
