NO PROBATION
COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day In sentencing a first offender to 14 days' hard labour for the theft of an overcoat, Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., remarked that' there seemed to be an idea growing, and it was an encouragement to crime, that every first offender was going to get probation. It was a mistake to think so.
The defendant was Harold Wilfred Bailey, a barman, who, it was stated, had taken a coat from a restaurant by mistake and done nothing about it except to look for a possible advertisement.
