Meat Stolen
(N.Z. Press Association! AUCKLAND, July 18. In the last financial year £14,000 of meat had been stolen from the Westfield Freezing Company’s Works, Mr C. M. Nicholson, the Crown Prosecutor, said in the Supreme Court today. Mr Justice Hardie Boys was hearing an appeal by Paul Turo, aged 28, a freezing worker, against a sentence of three months' imprisonment imposed in the Otahuhu Magistrate's Court. Appellant was sentenced for stealing six sides of pork and nine
carcases of lamb, valued at £56 6s Bd, the property of the Westfield Freezing Works. His Honour said that Turo was employed at the works. In writing to him Turo said: “If a thorough search was made of all employees leaving the premises, half of them would be here where I am now.” What the appellant really complained of was his breach of the eleventh commandment, which said “Thon shalt not be found out,” said his Honour.
He dismissed the appeal.
