SENTENCE REDUCED
END OF CAVENETT CASE AN APPEAL THAT WAS NOT STOPPED BY TELEGB VPH.—PEES3 ASSOCIATION Auckland, November 23. The final stage* of the Cavenett case, in which Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., said that he “would stop these appeals," took place in the Supreme Court today, when the original appeal against the sentence of two months’ imprisonment was heard. The allegation was that Cavenett, when working on the steamer Trebartha, at Auckland,, on August 10, pillaged some socks from the cargo. Mr. Justice Adams said that accused had served three weeks, and he Would take that into consideration.
Mr. Sullivan (for accused) : Could you not make it a fine ? His Honour: It is a serious case, and accused was in a position of trust. I cannot consider either a fine or probation. The accused will be sentenced to imprisonment for one month. In effect, this means that the sentence of two months has been reduced by one month.
