Hockey Players’ Pilfering Has Repercussions In Court
Two handfuls of peanuts and a couple of bottles of hair cream turned out to be high-priced plunder for three members of a hockey team from Whakatane which visited Gisborne in September. When the three appeared before Mr E. L. Walton S.M. in the Magistrate’s Court at Whakatane on Tuesday, Pat Hohua admitted taking the peanuts from a store at Te Karaka, near Gisborne, from which Ben Uatuku and Mack Tihi confessed to having taken a bottle of hair cream each. Hohua and Uatuku were fined £3 each and Tihi £l/10/-, costs 15/- in all cases.
