Probation Not Tantamount To Being Let Off
PALMERSTON N., Aug. 6. "There seems to be prevalent an idea that probation is tantamount to being let off," said Mr. Justice Stcnton in the Supreme Court, Palmerston North, today when sentencing Margaret Stuart Harvey to 12 mcnths reformative detention, to be concurrent, on each of two charges of false pretences andi attempted extortion. Prisoner had previously been] granted probation for an offencei which might have > incurred aj heavier penaffy, he said, but this. had not proved a deterrent. The attitude that probation was a let off might ultimately lead to a reconsideration of the conditions on, which probation could be regarded.
