The police represented by Sergeant M. Farrcll, stated that when in Whakatane the accused had collected the monies from Maoris on payments for radio sets and liad absconded. Mr Oxenliam did not apply for restitution of the money.
Mr L. Buddie, acting lor the accused, stated that Fogarty suffered from consumption and asked the Bench to treat him leniently, as; a prison term would be the worst thing possible for the man's health. He entered a plea of guilty.
The Justices, Messrs C. G. Lucas and J. G. Mulholland, however, stated that in view of the accused past record he should be punished and a sentence of six weeks gaol at Mt. Eden was imposed.
