REMANDED AGAIN
Couple For Sentence (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 10. Leslie Edward Thwaites, aged 37, a law clerk, and Lillian Viola Weir, aged 39, a nurse, were again remanded until next Wednesday afternoon when they appeared before Mr Justice Hardie Boys today for sentence on charges of theft as a servant involving £15,245. Earlier, Thwaites pleaded guilty to two charges of stealing £10,375 and £4870 from his father’s legal firm and Weir admitted stealing £l4OO from the same firm.
Their senior counsel, Mr L. P. Leary, Q.C., said more time was needed to investigate accounts which were still very complicated Mr C. M. Nicholson, for the Crown, consented to the remand. His Honour said it was not desirable that prisoners should be continually remanded as they should know their fate, but it was in the prisoners’ interests that the points should be clarified.
