INSURANCE CLERK SENTENCED.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
Auckland, March 12.
In the Supreme Court William Charlea Hutchings appeared for sentence on several charges of embezzlement to which he had pleaded guilty. The Crowa Prosecutor stated'that accused was in a responsible position in the Sun Insurance Company. In four years he had embezzled £1700." After making all allowances for known extravagances, there was a sum of £300 unaccounted for.'
Mr. Justice Stringer said the prisoner had already suffered the greatest punishment he could have, but there was a 1 duty to the general publio and the punishment must be exemplary aswcll as punitive. Accused had systematically robbed his employers and concealed the frauds by falsification of the books. He was sentenced to two' years' imprisonment with hard labour.
